Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an easily treatable heat storage fiber having heat storage property. SOLUTION: This heat storage fiber 1 is obtained by composite spinning of a sheath-core structure to have a cross section having a core of a heat storage material 3 and a sheath of a synthetic resin fiber 2. The heat storage cloth materials such as textiles, knitted fabrics and nonwoven fabrics are obtained by using the heat storage fiber 1. As the heat storage material 3, e.g. one having >=-20 deg.C but <=80 deg.C melting point and a relatively large heat of fusion/ solidification energy is used. The heat storage material 3 continues along the axial direction of the synthetic resin fiber 2 and so is hardly fractured by bending stress or tensile stress, easily treatable and capable of increasing manufacturability and yielding percentage. The heat storage material 3 is separated from the outside, does not flow out even if being molten, stably exhibits heat storage property for a long time and causes no disfigurement of the fiber and the materials due to melting and solidifying of the heat storage material 3 and the fiber and the materials keep good externals.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various heat storage members having heat storage properties have been used for clothes worn in an environment where temperature changes are remarkable. Such a member having heat storage properties is generally obtained by spinning a synthetic resin containing a microcapsule containing a microcapsule in which a substance having a melting point around room temperature is applied and fixed to a cloth. There are known fabrics made of woven fibers, that is, fabrics.

However, in the case where the conventional microcapsules are applied and fixed on a cloth,
An adhesive is required to fix the microcapsules to the cloth. This adhesive must be used in a large amount in order to exhibit sufficient heat storage and durability, and there is a problem that the texture of the cloth after being applied becomes hard.

[0004] Further, for example, in order to enhance comfort when wearing clothes, moisture permeability, moisture absorption / release properties, water resistance, and the like are required in addition to heat retention. However, when the microcapsules are applied and fixed on a cloth or the like with an adhesive, the heat retention is improved, but the moisture permeability of the cloth is reduced by the binder, and the cloth may not function well.

On the other hand, microcapsules are formed in a certain size in terms of structure. As a result, in the case where a fiber obtained by spinning a synthetic resin containing microcapsules is used as a fabric, the particle diameter of the microcapsules is larger than the fiber diameter. For this reason, there is a possibility that cutting, that is, thread breakage may occur during the spinning step or the weaving step into the cloth.
