Phase change material (PCM) has a unique property of latent heat that can absorb and release energy over a constant temperature range which enhances the thermal comfort of the clothing microenvironment. PCM textile structures are used in making smart textiles and thermo-regulated garments. An advanced modelling technique was successfully established to develop a finite element model of woven fabrics coated by MicroPCMs, the developed model was used to simulate and predict the effective thermal conductivity and thermal resistance.}, language = {English}, number = {1}, journal = {Industria Textila}, author = {SIDDIQUI MUHAMMAD OWAIS, RAZA and BALOCH, ZEHRA and NOORANI MUHAMMAD, USAMA and IQBAL, KASHIF and ZUBAIR, MUHAMMAD and SUN, DANMEI}, month = feb, year = {2022}, pages = {3--11}, }
