Example implementations include a textile apparatus for transporting perspiration and heat, the textile apparatus including a substantially planar and heat-conducting substrate including at least one recess, and a textile film including one or more fibers disposed in contact with at least one substantially planar surface of the substrate and at least one surface of the recess. Example implementations also include a method of manufacturing a textile apparatus for transporting perspiration and heat, the method including forming a nanofiber solution, extruding one or more nanofibers from the nanofiber solution, forming one or more recesses in a substantially planar surface of a substrate, and integrating one or more of the nanofibers with the substantially planar surface of the substrate and at least one surface of the recesses.

Systems and methods for heat conducting and biofluid transporting textile

A textile includes: (1) a matrix; and (2) particulate fillers dispersed within the matrix. The textile has a transmittance of infrared radiation at a wavelength of 9.5 μm of at least about 40%, and the textile has a weighted average reflectivity of radiation over a wavelength range of 0.3 μm to 2 μm of at least about 40%.

Spectrally selective textile for passive radiative outdoor personal cooling

An apparatus includes a substrate, at least one type of tuning material, and a composite material. The substrate has an interface surface or material that manifests, in response to light in a color spectrum, a particular color and a first thermal load. The particular color is associated with the first thermal load. The at least one type of tuning material manifests, in response to light in the color spectrum, the particular color and a second thermal load. The particular color is associated with the second thermal load. The first thermal load is different from the second thermal load. The composite material includes the interface surface or material and the at least one type of tuning material. The composite material manifests, in response to light in the color spectrum, the particular color and a tuned thermal load which is different than the first thermal load and the second thermal load.
