Waterproof fabric thanks to its ability to drain water

University of California, Davis, a biomedical engineer at the University of California, has developed a new fabric that works like a human skin that is capable of sweating and pushing it out immediately.

By combining only water-repellent with high-quality waterproofing, Siyuan Xing and Jia Jang have created an ultra-thin fabric that is capable of draining water along absorbent threads on one side of the fabric and removing the water. on the other side. In particular, the fabric's water-splash mechanism works continuously even when the fabric is completely wetted.

In addition, engineers can set the density of waterproof only with waterproofing on the fabric to the position they want to be applied to different positions on the clothes. Not only does it keep the fabric dry, it also has a cool feature that makes it attractive to garment manufacturers.

Currently, the team is working with leading sportswear brands such as Nike and Adidas to apply the technology of "smart fabric" on clothing. In addition, the new fabric also has the potential to be applied to some products requiring high absorbency, such as diapers or medical dressings.
