Abstract:

Traditional medical protective clothing offers limited functions and lacks of wear comfort. Accordingly, this research focused on the preparation of radiative cooling silicon dioxide/poly(1,1-difluoroethylene) nanofibers through electrospinning, and the making of nonwoven fabrics using hot pressing to obtain a new protective clothing fabrics (SiO2/PVDF-NWF). The microstructure and infrared transmittance of SiO2/PVDF nanofibers were measure and characterized, and the wearing comfort, protection performance, and radiative cooling effect of the as-obtained SiO2/PVDF-NWF were tested. The results show that with 15% PVDF spinning solution, optimal infrared transmittance of SiO2/PVDF nanofibers is achieved when the SiO2 particle size is 2 μm and the mass ratio of SiO2/PVDF is 0.15. The temperature inside clothes was found 2 ℃ lower than that in the traditional protective clothing and the relative humidity was reduced by 5% after replacing part of the fabric on the traditional protective clothing with SiO2/PVDF-NWF. In addition, the multifunctional protective system is constructed by integrating sensors for blood oxygen, temperature, humidity and positioning on the radiative cooling protective clothing fabrics, offerring a broad application prospect for medical applications.
