Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thermal storage and temperature regulation phase change materials, and particularly relates to a method for preparing and applying a solid-solid phase change fiber with flame retardant and / or photothermal properties. Background Technology

[0002] The gradual depletion of fossil fuels globally has led to environmental pollution and the greenhouse effect. In recent years, thermal energy storage technology based on phase change materials (PCMs) has been considered one of the most promising approaches to reducing energy consumption and improving energy efficiency. Meanwhile, PCM fibers, developed by combining PCMs with fiber manufacturing technology, exhibit excellent temperature control and regulation capabilities, highlighting their potential for application in personal thermal management textiles under varying weather conditions. However, the commercial application of PCMs still faces two challenges: first, leakage issues during the transportation and storage of solid-liquid PCMs; and second, the high flammability of organic PCMs, which severely limits their application in fire-fighting equipment, aerospace, and wearable electronic devices. Therefore, designing a solid-solid composite PCM with shape stability and good mechanical properties is of great significance for optimizing thermal management and promoting environmental protection.

[0003] Furthermore, considering the application of organic phase change materials in fire-fighting equipment, a certain degree of flame retardancy is crucial, and intrinsically flame-retardant solid-solid phase change materials provide the best solution for this. For example, in their research "Intrinsic Flame Retardancy and Flexible Solid-Solid Phase Change Materials with Self-Healing and Recyclability," Bai et al. introduced flame retardants into polyethylene glycol-based polyurethane through chemical crosslinking, preparing intrinsically flame-retardant solid-solid phase change material sheets. These sheets possess both flame-retardant properties and thermal energy storage capacity, along with excellent mechanical properties and shape stability, demonstrating great potential in the field of thermal energy storage. However, the lack of weavability in these phase change sheets significantly limits their application range. In addition, in their research "Intrinsically Flexible Phase Change Fibers for Intelligent Thermal Regulation", Liu et al. prepared a series of inherently ultra-flexible phase change fibers based on solid-solid phase change materials through polycondensation and wet spinning processes. However, when the temperature exceeds the phase change range, solid-solid phase change materials cannot effectively store and release energy, are inefficient, and have limited functionality, making it impossible to achieve all-weather, all-season thermal management. The limitations on human thermal management are particularly evident in extreme environments. Summary of the Invention
