In spite of the recent progress on phase changing material （PCM） research, the final products with sufficient amount of cooling capability have not yet to be developed in market. A new concept of cooling fabrics has been proposed by applying ＂Peltier effect＂ to textile materials. It occurs whenever electrical current flows through two dissimilar conductors t depending on the direction of current flow, the junction of the two conductors will either absorb or release heat. This effect has been tested on P-type and N-type conducting polymers. A P-type conductive polypyrrole coated fabric was synthesized by in- situ polymerization on plain weave PET to make conductive fabrics. And an N.typo electrically conductive material was synthesized by treatment of MWNT and polyethyleneimine （PEI）. A noticeable amount of temperature difference has been found in the fabric.展开更多
