Özet

Personal thermal management by controlling radiation energies of body and sun can be used in all environments and contributes to sustainability components with the advantages of energy saving, low chemical usage and comfort enhancements under dynamic conditions. In this study, passive radiative heating nanocomposite films were produced by using sodium alginate as matrix and zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles as nanofiller having far infrared radiation reflecting, hence passive heating functions. Nanocomposite films including 20% sodium alginate powder, deionized water, 20% of ZnO and Al2O3 nanoparticles and surfactant was stirred by magnetic and ultrasonic stirrers in turn. Films produced within petri dishes after drying at room temperature were analysed by FT-IR and SEM for chemical structure and morphological analysis, respectively. Emissivity ratios giving idea about the heating performances of the films were determined with IR camera (Fluke Ti100 Thermal Imager), heated plate, and data logger system. Also, heating performance was measured by a test system including far infrared lamp, thermal camera and temperature sensors. Results show that emissivity of the films increased by around 18% with the selected nanoparticles. The heating performance obtained in the nanocomposite film form may not only be used for the products where heating is necessary such as surgical gowns, knitted/woven clothing, but also for cosmetic/medical applications (beauty masks, wound dress, etc.) enabling skin care/healing.
