Emerging technology snapshot : cold climate clothing materials and physiological monitoring.: D69-76/2023E-PDF
"In extreme cold environments humans lose heat through temperature, air movement, relative humidity and clothing. Proper clothing and layering provides thermal management and protection from cold weather injuries. Advances in new materials such as organohydrogels, ion gels, and phase change materials are improving cold weather textiles and wearables. These materials have increased strength, electrical conductivity, moisture absorbency, air-permeability and heating effects. Innovations in wearables that monitor physiological states are advancing their flexibility, biocompatibility, anti-freezing, washability, self-healing capabilities and sensor sensitivity"--Page [1].
