Abstract: A polymeric composite having enhanced reversible thermal properties is manufactured. A temperature regulating material is mixed with a dispersing polymeric material to form a first blend. The first blend is processed to form granules, and the granules are mixed with a matrix polymeric material to form a second blend. The second blend is processed to form the polymeric composite. The polymeric comosite may be formed in a variety of shapes, such as, for example, pellets, fibers, flakes, sheets, films, rods, and so forth. The polymeric composite may be used as is or incorporated in various articles and applications where a thermal regulating property is desired. The polymeric composite may be further processed to form a variety of articles having enhanced reversible thermal properties, such as, for example, melt spun synthetic fibers.

Abstract: A composition for saturation of preformed, previously cured foam substrates having an at least partially open cell configuration, includes a polymer binder in which microspheres containing a phase change material are dispersed. Preferred phase change materials include paraffinic hydrocarbons. The microspheres may be microencapsulated. A preferred cured foam substrate is a skived polyurethane or polyether foam of from 20 to 1,000 mils in thickness, preferably 20 to 200 mils in thickness, having up to 6 ounces per square yard or more of encapsulated phase change material embedded in a polymer binder. One method of applying the binder with dispersed encapsulated phase change materials is by applying a binder/microsphere dispersion to the upper surface of a previously cured foam sheet, then drawing a vacuum from the underside of the cured foam sheet to permeate from 20 % to 100 % of the cured foam sheet with the binder/microsphere dispersion. The resulting product is then cured. An alternative method of applying the binder with embedded encapsulated phase change materials using knife over roll technique to an exposed surface of the skived foam is disclosed in which the most preferred viscosity of the uncured polymer binder is from 7,000 to 9,000 centipoise.

Abstract: A thermal barrier comprises a first barrier layer, a second barrier layer, and a base material positioned between the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer. The base material comprises a plurality of regions and a barrier zone separating the regions. The thermal barrier further comprises a non-encapsulated phase change material impregnating one or more of the regions. The barrier zone hinders migration of the phase change material in its liquid state within the base material, and the first barrier layer is bonded to the second barrier layer to enclose the base material. The thermal barrier may be used or incorporated in various products or applications where thermal management is desired. For example, the thermal barrier may be used in textiles, apparel, footwear, medical products, containers and packaging, buildings, appliances, and other products.

Abstract: An interactive thermal insulating system of the present invention includes at least three layers. The first layer (21) is a high density layer comprising a substrate (31) coated with a polymer binder (32) in which a plurality of microspheres (33) containing a phase change material (34) are dispersed. The second layer (22) is a low density fibrous mesh (42) in which individual fibers contain a plurality of microspheres (43) containing a phase change material (44) dispersed therein. A third layer (23) is a flexible substrate. The fibrous mesh is sandwiched between the coated layer and the third layer. The layers are bonded together by stitching at regular intervals, lamination, or other methods of connection. Most preferably, the phase change material contained in the microspheres include paraffinic hydrocarbons.

Abstract: A stable suspension for the production of a temperature-regulating, polymer-containing material or fabric, comprises a solvent and a plurality of microcapsules containing at least one phase-change material. The microcapsules are incorporated in the polymer-containing material, and the stable suspension is characterized in that the solvent is capable of dissolving a fabric-forming component selected from the group consisting of at least one of the polymer and precursors thereof and the suspension is stable for at least about 20 hours. A method for manufacturing a suspension comprising a solvent and a plurality of microcapsules containing at least one phase-change material comprises providing microcapsules containing a phase-change material, providing a solvent capable of dissolving a fabric-forming component selected from the group consisting of at least one of the polymer and precursors thereof, and mixing the solvent and the microcapsules to form the suspension.
