AB  - Over the last few decades, phase change materials (PCM) have attracted a great 
      deal of interest in medical textiles due to its superior thermoregulation system, 
      simple application, and so on. Patients, however, confined to bed in a medical 
      facility face the serious risk of developing bed sores, which is not mitigated by 
      the use of a standard bed sheet. Numerous articles and patents have been studied 
      related to development of thermal bed sheets using PCM applied by various 
      techniques; however, no such initiates was found to prepare and characterize of 
      hospital bed sheets using microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) through 
      screen printing method. Thus, this study aims to develop a hospital bed sheet 
      constructed from cotton fabric incorporated with MPCM. To accomplish this, MPCM 
      was mixed into the printing paste that had been applied on the fabric by screen 
      printing method, and then dried at room temperature. Thermal behavior, thermal 
      transition, and thermal conductivity of the developed samples had been 
      investigated. Moisture management properties, mechanical properties, and bonding 
      behavior of the samples were also examined. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) 
      was used to analyze the sample's morphology, and a differential scanning 
      calorimeter (DSC) was used to determine how polymeric materials behaved when 
      heated. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated that the MPCM incorporated 
      sample lost weight slowly, while the DSC test confirmed that melting began at 
      20  degrees C and ended at 30  degrees C. Furthermore, fabricated sample had higher heat 
      conductivity (0.1760822 w.m(-1) k(-1)). Overall, the results revealed a great 
      potential for using the developed samples as hospital bed sheets to prevent 
      patients from developing bed sores.
