Abstract

Polyethylene (PE) textiles can be engineered through structural optimization for efficient wicking and drying to simultaneously offer radiative and evaporative cooling. The great advantages of smart PE textiles beyond conventional textiles in energy savings, water conservation and low environmental footprint are systematically investigated to drive sustainable energy and environmental development of the textile industry.
