Abstract
Thermo-regulated fibres can response to ambient temperature and maintain the
microclimate equilibrium temperature. They can be applied in wide variety area,
such as aerospace, military and medical etc. Many processing technologies
for producing thermo-regulated fibre have been developed since 1971. There
are still some defects and deficiencies in each method, however. With the aim at
producing a environment friendly, high efficient and low costly thermo-
regulated fibre, the scientists all over the world are exploring constantly. In this
study, we are working on aerogel based synthetic fibres to produce thermo-
regulation fibres which facilitated the satisfactory results to maintain the
microclimate equilibrium temperature and also get hydrophobicity , high
tenacity etc. .
