Self-regulating clothes against dermatitis

Heat up when cool, cool down when hot, help the body stay at the perfect temperature, cure many dermatological diseases as clothing in the future when they are equipped with the "nano bags" thousands of times smaller wide of the hair.

DK, 30/10, Portuguese scientists have developed small capsules that absorb and release heat. These "nanoparticles" are thousands of times the width of human hair, made from starch and filled with small amounts of wax and can be attached to clothing.

The hot body of the wax melts, and the cold froze.

Scientists believe that this could lead to a whole new range of sportswear.

When nanoparticles are attached to materials that change their properties around the skin temperature. They can help the user cool down by absorbing energy, or warming it up by releasing energy when it clumps.

The team is working with Belgian company Devan Textile and Chemical to develop technology along with some dermatologists.

They hope to adapt to capsules so they can also be used as a way to provide natural vegetable oils that can kill bacteria to help treat skin diseases such as eczema.
