Jute bags are widely used to carry food grains and other materials that may be prone to quality deterioration due to thermal fluctuation. Thermal and moisture properties play a significant role in the packaging materials in the form of a container. This study deals with the effect of microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) with hydrophobic binder on thermal and moisture management properties of jute fabric. Jute fabric was treated with MPCM by pad-dry-cure method. The treated sample was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning colorimeter (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), moisture management tester (MMT), and air permeability tester. The results revealed that MPCM treated jute fabric shows greater thermal stability and heat absorption ability of 10.58 J/g while changing from solid to liquid phase. The SEM image ensures even distribution of MPCMs on fabric surface and surface roughness was also observed using image processing software. The air permeability was found to decrease whereas the water repellency enhanced in the developed sample.

黄麻袋被广泛用于装载粮食和其他可能因热波动而容易变质的材料。热和湿气特性在容器形式的包装材料中起着重要作用。本研究涉及具有疏水性粘合剂的微胶囊相变材料 (MPCM) 对黄麻织物的热和水分管理性能的影响。黄麻织物经轧干固化法用 MPCM 处理。处理后的样品通过热重分析（TGA）、差示扫描色度计（DSC）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、水分管理测试仪（MMT）和透气性测试仪进行表征。结果表明，经 MPCM 处理的黄麻织物在从固相转变为液相时表现出更高的热稳定性和吸热能力，达到 10.58 J/g。SEM 图像确保 MPCM 在织物表面上的均匀分布，并且还使用图像处理软件观察了表面粗糙度。在开发的样品中，发现透气性降低，而防水性增强。
