Abstract

A majority portion of energy resources in the world is supplied by fossil fuels. Excessive consumptions of fossil energy resources have instigated many environmental issues such as climate change. Burning fossil fuels release toxic and dangerous pollutants that will affect the environment and finally the human food chain. Overconsumption of nonrenewable fossil fuels concerns the global community to develop concepts such as sustainable renewable energies, energy storage, thermal energy and phase change materials within the framework of energy management. The idea of using phase change materials for storage of renewable thermal energy is growing.  Having variety types of phase - change materials with different characteristics has led to the possibility of using these materials in several industries such as textiles, medicine, smart clothes, civil and electronic industries. Additionally, storage and release of renewable energies are important factor in the development of energy management. Therefore, in this study, the role of phase change materials in smart clothing is investigated.
