Development of heating and cooling materials for sports apparel by Thum, Kai Yang

“…Efficiency of the dual-layer pairing is calculated by the difference in temperature of the skin between heating and cooling mode. It was found that the MICA White-Carbon Black and the MICA Red-Carbon Black pairing have the best efficiency in terms of its dual-layer properties by using various test such as the Skin Test as well as the Lamp Test which will be further explained in Section 4 of Experimental Methods. …”
