Provided are garments that comprise thermally-conductive materials, the materials comprising a heat-collecting coating disposed on a fibrous base material having a thermally-conductive additive dispersed within. Also provided are methods of fabricating thermally-conductive garments.

A conductive and flexible carbon fiber according to the present disclosure includes a carbon fiber; a resin layer formed on the carbon fiber; and a metal plating layer formed on the resin layer. The resin layer of the carbon and flexible carbon fiber according to the present disclosure is uniformly coated on the carbon fiber, such that a breakage of the carbon fiber during the conductive carbon fiber production process may be prevented. In addition, the metal plating layer having the uniform thickness is plated on the resin layer having the uniform thickness, such that the electric conductivity of the carbon fiber may be improved and the flexibility of the carbon fiber may also be increased. In addition, a production process of the carbon and flexible carbon fiber according to the present disclosure is simplified, such that the production cost and time may be saved.

A thermally conductive silicone composition includes silicone as a matrix component and a thermally conductive filler. The matrix component includes a silicone base polymer having a vinyl group and a silicone oil having no vinyl group. The thermally conductive filler includes aluminum nitride particles. The thermally conductive silicone composition includes a peroxide as a curing component. A thermally conductive silicone sheet 1 of the present invention includes the thermally conductive silicone composition (3,4) being applied to at least one surface of a sizing sheet of a glass cloth 2. The thickness of the thermally conductive silicone sheet is 0.1 to 1 mm. Thus, a thermally conductive silicone rubber composition that is flexible and has strength and high thermal conductive properties, a sheet thereof, and a method for producing the sheet are provided.

A bedding article has a fabric having a substrate having a surface area. The fabric has a polymeric material that absorbs and desorbs moisture and/or moisture vapor that results in a catalytic action to actively cool the substrate or fabric. The material covers about 40% to about 70% of the surface area of the substrate and as present on the substrate is present at 0.5 to 1.0 grams per square meter.

A flooring material having a textile pad substructure with a density of greater than 10 pounds per cubic foot is provided. The textile pad has reinforcement and binding fibers. The binding fibers are thermoplastic and are used to bind the reinforcement fibers together. The pad is created by heating and compressing a fibrous textile batt so that it has a density of greater than 13 pounds per cubic foot.
