Not very many individuals are acquainted with this sort of innovation in Pakistan. This is advanced procedure furthermore has extremely extraordinary properties which will be discussed in below. Be that as it may, for this procedure we need to think about the cotton material structure and its warmth property. Additionally the learning of PCM completion with warmth properties is critical.PCM is the short form of three words known as Phase Change Materials, or the materials which can change the temperature or color according to the requirement and quality. The basic ability of the PCMs to store the heat is achieved by stages of molecules like: solid to solid, solid to liquid, solid to gas or liquid to gas phases/stages. But the most suitable phase is solid liquid change. When this phase absorbs heat solid melts and converts into liquid phase. This gives us a cooling effect. Because heat can be absorbed form our body due to which temperature falls and cooling effect is observed by body. If all PCM is melted that it stops to absorb heat. Moreover, when the temperature of fabric falls and become less than the transition temperature then the PCMs turn back to their original state which is solid and release heat which gives us a warmer effect. The main advantage of this material is that the skin body temperature doesn’t change and it provides more comforters to wearer.Item Effect of different dyeing conditions on color properties of avitera se reactive dyed cotton woven fabric(UMT, Lhr, 2015-11-03) JAHANZEB MURTAZA; Shahid KamranIn this research study, plain cotton woven fabric is treated with Avitera SE reactive dye by using exhaust method. The color values of dyed cotton fabric samples are measured by using SF 650X Spectra flash spectrophotometer.
