Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underwear fabric preparation, and in particular to a method for preparing underwear fabric capable of intelligent temperature regulation and color change. Background Art

[0002] As consumers' requirements for wearing comfort and functionality continue to increase, underwear fabrics are developing towards multifunctionality and intelligence. Traditional underwear fabrics only have basic covering and warmth functions, which can no longer meet people's needs in different environments and activity scenarios. Ideal underwear fabrics not only need to have good close-fitting comfort, but also should have intelligent temperature regulation, dynamic visual changes and excellent moisture absorption and breathability.

[0003] In terms of intelligent temperature regulation technology, the application of existing phase change materials in fibers has problems such as poor dispersion and unstable temperature regulation effect. Traditional addition methods easily lead to uneven distribution of phase change material microcapsules in the fibers, affecting the durability and uniformity of the temperature regulation function, and the temperature regulation performance decreases significantly after multiple washes. At the same time, in the realization of the color change function, most thermosensitive or photochromic fabrics have the defects of low color change sensitivity and poor color stability, and cannot achieve rapid and stable color changes in the human activity environment. In terms of sweat absorption performance, although some fabrics have improved their moisture absorption capacity through simple hydrophilic treatment, this treatment method often makes it difficult to form a long-lasting and stable hydrophilic structure. The moisture absorption is greatly reduced after multiple washes. Moreover, a single hydrophilic treatment can easily destroy the original structure of the fiber, causing the fabric to feel hard and affecting wearing comfort. In addition, existing softening finishing technologies usually only focus on the overall softness of the fabric and lack targeted treatment of functional fibers. It is impossible to effectively improve the fiber softness while enhancing the sweat absorption capacity, and it is difficult to achieve the coordinated optimization of multiple functions.

[0004] In summary, the underwear fabrics currently on the market have obvious deficiencies in multifunctional integration and performance stability. There is an urgent need to develop a method for preparing underwear fabrics that can simultaneously achieve intelligent temperature regulation, color change, efficient sweat absorption, and softness and comfort to meet the needs of modern consumers for high-quality functional clothing.
