Fibers capable of heat storage and temperature adjustment

Abstract

The invention relates to fibers capable of heat storage and temperature adjustment. The fiber prepared by using the composite melt-spinning method comprises the following components by weight percent: 20% to 60% of polymer-type phase-change materials as a core component or an island component and 80% to 40% of fiber-forming polymers as a skin component or a sea component, wherein the polymer-type phase-change materials comprise the homopolymer or copolymer of alkyl acrylate, alkyl methacrylate and monoalkyl/dualalkyl itaconate or the copolymer of the homopolymer thereof, and is characterized in that the normal alkyl capable of carrying out the solid-liquid and liquid-solid phase transition and further achieving the effect of energy storage is fixed on the main chain of the polymer by the covalent bond; and the fiber-forming polymer comprises at least one selected from polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, co-polyamide, co-polyester and co-polyacrylonitrile. The weight loss of the fiber taking methylbenzene as solvent is not higher than 5% after being subjected to the treatment of a Soxhlet extractor for 2 hours.
