Homeostatic microfiber leathers with temperature self-regulation promise broad applications, ranging from the apparel and automotive interior industries to home furnishing healthcare industries. Temperature is achieved by phase-change materials containing microcapsules introduced within leathers. The introduction of phase change (PCMs) into leather faces two formidable challenges: (1) shell must remain chemically stable against alkalis organic solvents; (2) PCMs possess ability reduce supercooling during which latent heat released, allowing for precise controllable release heat.

Abstract Rapid population growth in recent decades has intensified both the global energy crisis and challenges posed by climate change, including warming. Currently, increased frequency of extreme weather events large fluctuations ambient temperature disrupt thermal comfort negatively impact health, driving a growing dependence on cooling heating sources. Consequently, efficient management become central focus research. Traditional systems consume substantial energy, further contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, emergent radiant technologies that rely renewable have been proposed as sustainable alternatives. However, achieving year-round without additional input remains formidable challenge. Recently, dynamic radiative emerged most promising solution, offering potential for energy-efficient adaptation across seasonal variations. This review systematically presents advancements management, covering fundamental principles, switching mechanisms, primary materials, application areas. Additionally, key hindering broader adoption are discussed. By highlighting their transformative potential, this provides insights into design industrial scalability these innovations, with ultimate aim promoting integration applications.

With the development of electronic equipment and advancement environmental camouflage technology, higher requirements are placed on flexibility, thermal conductivity, heat storage capacity phase change films. This work fabricated a high-performance dual-encapsulation composite film through employment Pickering emulsion polymerization sol-gel techniques, incorporating n-octadecane (n-OD), liquid metal gallium (Ga), poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO). Phase microcapsules (PM) serve to prevent leakage during changes, maintain high levels enthalpy, enhance dispersion n-OD in matrices, as well improve adhesion at interfaces. It is possible achieve excellent conductivity with only small amount modified Ga (MGa) by chitosan quaternary ammonium salt confined network since material has smaller size more uniform distribution. Owing its distinctive structural design modification strategy, (MGa/PM/PBO) manifests outstanding mechanical properties (featuring tensile strength 7.0 MPa), remarkable (9.4752 W m-1 K-1) in-plane), (100.9 J g-1). harbors significant potential for application management devices camouflage.
