Researchers who previously demonstrated a cooling fabric coating now report on additional tests of a treated polyester fabric in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Fabric treated with the team’s chalk-based coating kept the air underneath up to 6 degrees Fahrenheit cooler in warmer urban environments.

El revestimiento a base de tiza crea un tejido refrigerante
En el calor abrasador del verano, cualquier persona que pase tiempo afuera podría beneficiarse de un tejido refrigerante. Pero ahora, los investigadores han innovado con un revestimiento de microescala a base de tiza que enfría el aire debajo del tejido tratado hasta 13 grados Celsius. Presentarán sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
Chalk-based coating creates a cooling fabric
In the scorching heat of summer, anyone who spends time outside could benefit from a cooling fabric. Now, researchers have innovated a durable chalk-based microscale coating that cools the air underneath treated fabric by up to 8 degrees Fahrenheit. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.
This patch uses nanomagnets to detect muscle movement through the skin
Using nanomagnets composites and conductive yarn, scientists have invented a smart textile that can sense and measure body movements—from muscles flexing to veins pulsing.
