Stanford University, the United States scientists invented a new type of garment materials, with the temperature changes automatically adjust the temperature of clothing, hot weather cooling, cold weather heating, people always feel comfortable skin.
The latest issue of the United States published in Science Progress Magazine is a new material that resembles the common kitchen packaged aluminum foil used in homes, but scientists stack two layers of materials that automatically release heat, Plus a layer of polyethylene fabric with cooling function.The copper plating layer on the fabric collects the heat between the fabric and the skin, while the carbon coating under the polyethylene fabric has the function of releasing heat.
If this material is to be garments, the cold side of the winter, so that the side of the copper layer outward, clothing will automatically gather heat to keep the skin warm.If it is hot, so that the carbon coating outward, the clothes will automatically release heat For the human body cooling.
The new material was invented by a research team led by Cui Yi, a professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford University, and funded by a research institute under the US Department of Energy, who said that although the new material can not be immediately used in apparel manufacturing, it Has a significant energy-saving effect, broad application prospects.
