Phase Change Material Thermal Buffering
topic
Phase change material (PCM) textile testing uses DSC calorimetry to quantify latent heat capacity, phase transition temperature, and thermal buffering duration; dynamic thermal manikin protocols measure the delay in microclimate temperature rise that PCM-treated garments provide during transient heat stress exposure.
Role
Enables performance claims for thermoregulating sportswear, workwear, and bedding products incorporating microencapsulated PCMs, providing the calorimetric and functional data needed to differentiate products by thermal buffering capacity.
