This study investigates the preparation of phase change energy storage fibers via microencapsulation and their application in temperature-regulating textiles. By employing microencapsulation technology, phase change materials are effectively encapsulated within fibers, ensuring stable and durable thermal energy storage capacity for thermal management. The study analyzes the impact of different microencapsulation techniques on fiber properties, including thermal stability, thermal response rate, and cycling stability. Experimental results demonstrate that fibers incorporating microencapsulated phase change materials can provide effective temperature regulation during temperature fluctuations, thereby enhancing the comfort and functionality of textiles. This technology offers a novel solution for the innovative design of temperature-regulating textiles and holds broad application prospects.
