Abstract

Existing personal thermal regulating fabrics fall short of meeting the demands for sustainable and protective outdoor temperature management. Here, a versatile and comfortable Janus fabric has been developed by embedding boron nitride nanosheets within a porous polyurethane matrix (BNNS@TPU) and introducing Ti₃C₂T_x MXene into another layer of TPU pores (MXene/TPU). The well-distributed BNNS in porous TPU matrix enhances refractive index difference, increases porosity and optimizes pore size distribution, resulting in an excellent solar reflectivity (R = 94.22%), while the distinct distribution of MXene in porous TPU effectively improves solar absorptivity (α = 93.57%) and enhances the conduction loss of electromagnetic waves due to multiple scattering and reflection effects. With a simple flip, Janus fabric can switch between sub-ambient cooling of ~ 7.2 °C and super-ambient heating of ~ 46.0 °C to adapt to changing weather and seasonal conditions. The fabric achieves an electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency of 36 dB, protecting the human body from electromagnetic radiation, attributed to the hierarchical distribution of highly conductive MXene. Furthermore, Janus fabric offers excellent comfort, abrasion resistance, washability, and flame retardancy for practical wear. This study presents an effective strategy for developing personal thermal regulating fabrics with adaptability to environmental changes and resistance to electromagnetic radiation.

用于可切换式个人热管理和电磁干扰屏蔽的多功能舒适 Janus 织物

现有的个人热调节织物无法满足可持续和保护性户外温度管理的需求。在这里，通过在多孔聚氨酯基质（BNNS@TPU）中嵌入氮化硼纳米片，并在另一层热塑性聚氨酯孔隙（MXene/TPU）中引入 Ti3C2Tx MXene，开发出了一种多功能、舒适的 Janus 织物。多孔热塑性聚氨酯基体中分布均匀的 BNNS 可增强折射率差、增加孔隙率并优化孔径分布，从而获得出色的太阳反射率（R = 94.22%），而 MXene 在多孔热塑性聚氨酯中的明显分布则可有效提高太阳吸收率（α = 93.57%），并由于多重散射和反射效应而增强电磁波的传导损耗。通过简单的翻转，Janus 织物可在 ~ 7.2 °C 的亚环境制冷和 ~ 46.0 °C 的超环境制热之间切换，以适应不断变化的天气和季节条件。由于高导电性 MXene 的分层分布，织物的电磁干扰屏蔽效率高达 36 dB，可保护人体免受电磁辐射。此外，Janus 织物还具有极佳的舒适性、耐磨性、耐洗性和阻燃性，适合实际穿着。这项研究为开发适应环境变化和抗电磁辐射的个人热调节织物提供了一种有效的策略。
