发明名称 COMPOSITE MATERIALS WITH SELF-REGULATED INFRARED EMISSIVITY AND ENVIRONMENT RESPONSIVE FIBERS
摘要 A composite fabric having self-regulating Infrared emissivity includes meta fibers formed with optical nanostructures and an environment (temperature and/or moisture) responsive mechanism configured to adjust a relative disposition between the optical structures to control the electromagnetic coupling therebetween, thus regulating the infrared emissivity of the composite fabric to maintain a user of the fabric in a temperature/moisture comfort zone. The environment responsive mechanism may include a temperature responsive polymer layer on the fiber capable of expansion/shrinkage depending on the applied temperature, or a moisture responsive fiber changing its shape depending on the moisture level to affect spacing between the optical nanostructures.

主权项 1. A composite fabric with self-regulated infrared emissivity, comprising: (a) a plurality of environment responsive meta fibers positioned in a predetermined spaced-apart relationship each with respect to the other with a respective first distance between respective neighboring meta fibers, each of said plurality of meta fibers includes: a base fiber, an optical structure bonded to said base fiber, thus forming an optical structure-base fiber composite, wherein an electromagnetic coupling between said optical structures on said neighboring of said plurality of meta fibers determines an infrared emissivity of the composite fabric, and an environment responsive mechanism operatively coupled to said optical structure-base fiber composite, said environment responsive mechanism being configured to modulate a distance between said optical structures in accordance with at least one environmental parameter applied to said meta fibers, wherein, when said at least one environmental parameter applied to said plurality of meta fibers deviates from a predetermined environmental parameter zone, said environment responsive mechanism operates to control said first distance between said respective neighboring meta fibers to regulate the electromagnetic coupling between said optical structures bonded thereto, thereby adjusting the infrared emissivity of the composite fabric to decrease said deviation between said applied at least one environmental parameter and said predetermined environmental parameter zone.
