PVC-based synthetic leather with thermal comfort for automobile applications

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Increasingly consumers are demanding cars to be comfortable even for more economic commercial segments. Thus, the development of materials with thermo-regulation properties assumed renewed interest. An attempt has been made to prepare multi-layer PVC-based synthetic leather with paraffinic PCM´s to be applied on car seats. The thermal behaviour of the material was analysed using a thermal manikin combined with an Infra-Red camera, monitoring the temperature development as in a real situation and comparing the results with Alambeta apparatus that test bi-dimensional fabrics regarding thermal properties
