Summary : Functional textiles provide ample evidence of the potential wealth of opportunities still to be realised in the textile industry. In this paper, intelligent‐wear garments with thermoregulating properties are prepared using phase change materials (PCMs) microcapsules and tested. At the same time, a series of nylon 6 nanocomposites with different filler/Jojoba Oil contents have been prepared with the purpose of obtain active fibers providing care, comfort and protection for the skin. Jojoba Oil delivery through polyamide matrix in conditions simulating current applications was studied by FT‐IR.
