a Application of PHT-2 laminated with fabrics on garments. b Demonstration of the moisture management capabilities of PTH-2 laminated with KF compounded with functional garments with moisture-wicking ability. c Moisture management capabilities of KF, WF, and DLT-KF laminated with PHT-2, evaluated by MMT tests and compared with three original fabrics, respectively. d The moisture permeability of PHT-2 combined with different types of KF and compared with the original fabric. e Breathability of PHT-2 after combination with different types of KF. Error bars in (c–e) represent standard deviations, n = 3 independent samples. f Infrared camera images of the three original fabrics and those laminated with PHT-2 covered with our wet skin. g Compared with the fabrics and fiber films with thermal regulation properties reported in the literature, the fabrics with composite PHT-2 films showed better cooling effects.
