Active Textile Glove for Cooling and Personal Protection

Conventional gloves partially insulate against heat transfer from a hot external environment. They also prevent metabolic generated by the human body escaping. Thus, are source of buildup and stress in workers. Heat can lead to hyperthermia. Described herein is glove that cools using carbon nanotube (CNT) fabric micro-liner forced convection fan. A cold sink assumed be located cool air. This called an active textile glove. CNT has high thermal conductivity plane fabric, low through its thickness, large surface area for cooling. hand cooler air paper simulates performance CNT-cooled simple theoretical models. Cooling was demonstrated testing plate. Forced found provide greatest cooling effect, with it working synergy which aids spreading heat. acts as shield environmental dangers. The flame resistant, attenuates radio frequency waves, prevents smoke particles toxic chemicals entering Testing illustrates shielding properties fabric.
