Abstract
Heat transfer and storage is one of the important thermal property that substantially varies due to the nature of scaled fibers coupled with layering technique applied while designing a winter garment. The presence of scales is not evenly distributed in size and numbers over the fiber surface resulting in uneven heat flow or trapping heat released from the body. In this study the SEM images of fibers are used to characterize scale configurations, geometry, dimensions, orientation and shape of scales of merino wool, pashmina and angora fibers. However, to improve the heat retention and lower the heat flow from the fibers, kulkote phase change material is applied by spray method on the fiber felts and evaluated for its thermal properties using DSC thermograms. DSC thermograms shows the thermal behaviour of fibers before and after treating with phase change material, hence justifying the effectiveness in controlling flow of heat resulting in construction of superior winter wear products.
