- (1)
- The appearance, phase transformation, and magnetic properties of the obtained microcapsules were assessed to determine their thermal performance. The XRD and FTIR results confirmed the successful preparation of the target magnetic microcapsules. The SEM and TEM images showed that the microcapsules were spherical and uniformly distributed, measuring approximately 2 μm in diameter. When the Fe3O4 nanoparticle mass fraction was 8%, the microcapsules exhibited a melting enthalpy of 94.25 J·g−1 and a saturation magnetization of 2.50 emu·g−1 according to DSC and VSM analyses.
- (2)
- Cotton fabric, serving as the base material, was impregnated and finished with a solution comprising an adhesive and microcapsules to create functional thermal regulation fabrics. The structure and properties of the obtained fabrics were measured and analyzed in succession. The impregnated fabrics demonstrated good appearance and softness properties, together with thermal performance.
- (3)
- Under optimal processing conditions, the tempering fabric’s phase-change enthalpy reached 25.81 J·g−1, maintaining phase-change behavior for 8 min during heating. Additionally, the enthalpy retention rate was 82.06% after five washing cycles.
