Research progress and development trends of inflatable temperature-regulating clothing.

Air inflatable temperature-regulating clothing uses an air layer with locked air to replace the filling material of a traditional insulating layer. It is environmentally friendly, temperature-regulating, lightweight and portable, and of great value in cold protective clothing. Firstly, This paper introduced the products and patented technologies of inflatable temperature-regulating clothing at home and abroad. Then, it analyzed the temperature-regulating mechanism and heat transfer mechanism of inflatable temperature-regulating clothing. Thirdly, it summarized the current research status of scholars at home and abroad on the factors affecting the warmth retention of inflatable temperature-regulating clothing. The drawbacks and future development trends of air inflatable temperature-regulating clothing were proposed as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
