Abstract: A fiber is provided having enhanced thermal storage and release characteristics. The fiber includes a mixture of a first polymer and a thermal stabilizing material surrounded by a second polymer which forms a sheath for the fiber. The thermal stabilizing material may be at least one phase change and/or plastic crystalline material. The first polymer acts as a carrier for the thermal stabilizing material during formation of the fiber, and both the first and second polymers effectively enclose the thermal stabilizing material within the fiber thereby preventing its leakage. The fiber may be of the sheath-core or "island-in-the-sea" type, and fabrics manufactured from such fibers exhibit enhanced insulating properties at desired temperature ranges. Methods for manufacturing the fiber as well as fabrics formed from various types of fibers are also disclosed.

Abstract: Multi-component fibers having enhanced reversible thermal properties and methods of manufacturing thereof are described. In one embodiment, a multi-component fiber includes a fiber body formed from a set of elongated members, and at least one of the set of elongated members includes a temperature regulating material having a latent heat of at least 40 J/g and a transition temperature in the range of 22 °C to 40 °C. The temperature regulating material provides thermal regulation based on at least one of absorption and release of the latent heat at the transition temperature. The multi-component fiber can be formed via a melt spinning process or a solution spinning process and can be used or incorporated in various products where a thermal regulating property is desired. For example, the multi-component fiber can be used in textiles, apparel, footwear, medical products, containers and packagings, buildings, appliances, and other products.
