Fabrics 'snakeskin'

New fabric made from carbon nanotubes can withstand chemical and biological toxicity, according to US experts.

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California say the new material is designed to withstand the rapid transition from a ventilated state to a protective state. , like snake skin.

High ventilation is the most important thing for armaments, to prevent heat stress and fatigue when soldiers operate in polluted environments.

'The new uniform will be like a second skin reaction to environmental conditions , ' ' Fox News quotes Francesco Fornasiero of LLNL. He said there was no need for external control systems, and that the fabric could be moved to the same state.

The uniform surface of the uniform with holes is a carbon nanotube, with a few nanometers in diameter, woven together with a chemical reaction layer.

When a person wears chemical or biological bombs, holes in the surface of the fabric close, preventing the penetration of the poison.
