Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of compounds for imparting a temperature regulating effect to a textile and methods of manufacturing a temperature regulating textile. The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a temperature regulating textile, wherein the textile forms part of a non-apparel article. Compounds for imparting a temperature regulating effect on a textile are also described.
Claims5
A method for imparting a temperature regulating effect to a textile with a compound selected from the group consisting of:
- wherein x+z is from 5 to 10 and y is from 35 to 45, and the melting point of the compound is from about 5° C. to about 55° C.;
- the method comprising:
- forming a covalent bond between a nucleophilic group on the textile and an electrophilic moiety in the compound;
- and
- imparting a temperature regulating effect to the textile.
A method of manufacturing a temperature regulating textile, the method comprising:
- applying a compound to a textile, and
- forming a covalent bond between an electrophilic moiety in the compound and a nucleophilic group on the textile to provide the temperature regulating textile,
- wherein
- the compound is selected from the group consisting of:
- wherein x+z is from 5 to 10 and y is from 35 to 45, and the melting point of the compound is from about 5° C. to about 55° C.
