Cotton functionalized with polyethylene glycol and graphene oxide for dual thermoregulating and UV-protection applications

Abstract A thermoregulating smart textile based on phase change material (PCM) polyethylene glycol (PEG) was prepared by chemically grafting carboxyl-terminated PEG onto cotton. Further deposits of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were made on the PEG grafted cotton (PEG-g-Cotton) to improve the therm...
