Nanotech Clothing Fabric Never Gets Wet
Do you like this story?
Amazing!!! Nanotech clothing fabric never gets wet even it is under the water for 2 months.
Lead researcher Stefan Seeger at the University of Zurich says:
The fabric, made from polyester fibres coated with millions of tiny silicone filaments, is the most water-repellent clothing-appropriate material ever created.
Plus, this cloth has a protective spike. Seeger explained to New Scientist:
The combination of the hydrophobic surface chemistry and the nanostructure of the coating results in the super-hydrophobic effect...The water comes to rest on the top of the nanofilaments like a fakir sitting on a bed of nails...
These are not enough. The Nanotech clothing fabric is able to reduce drag by itself in water by 20%.
