An innovative new material from the team at Stanford can be woven into clothing to help cool the body more effectively than synthetic fabrics.
The plastic-based textile is inexpensive to manufacture, and could even offer an alternative to air conditioning in some areas. The textile cools the body in two ways—by letting perspiration evaporate as well as by allowing the body’s infrared radiation to escape. It is the ability to allow the infrared radiation to escape that gives the textile its impressive cooling abilities.
When compared to cotton fabric, the new textile kept the skin 3.6°F cooler, which could be enough to keep the person cool without a fan or air conditioner.
