FIBER HAVING BOTH THERMAL-INSULATING AND COOL-FEELING FUNCTIONS, AND FABRIC HAVING BOTH THERMAL-INSULATING AND COOL-FEELING FUNCTIONS

摘要

A fiber having both thermal-insulating and cool-feeling functions and a fabric having both thermal-insulating and cool-feeling functions are provided. The fiber includes a thermal-insulating part and a cool-feeling part encapsulating the thermal-insulating part. A material of the thermal-insulating part includes a first base material and a near infrared reflective material dispersed in the first base material. The near infrared reflective material is selected from the group consisting of iron, cobalt, chromium, copper, nickel, bismuth, and an alloy thereof. A material of the cool-feeling part includes a second base material and a cool feeling material dispersed in the second base material. The cool feeling material is a silicate containing at least one metal selected from the group consisting of calcium, magnesium, sodium, and aluminum. The fabric having both thermal-insulating and cool-feeling functions is woven from the fiber having both thermal-insulating and cool-feeling functions.
