Congratulations to Dr Dahua SHOU’ s team won TechConnect award
（只有英文版本）Dr Dahua SHOU’s team was awarded a prestigious prize at this year’s TechConnect World Innovation Conference and Expo (TechConnect) in Washington DC on 18 OCTOBER, 2021. They had developed a nature-inspired ‘sweatable’ textile material capable of ultra-fast sweat dissipation.
Sweatextile: A Nature-Inspired Textile of Unidirectional Water Transport and Dissipation for Moisture Management, Comfort and Protection by Dr SHOU Dahua, Professor FAN Jintu and Dr WEI Xin, Institute of Textiles and Clothing
Going beyond the capabilities of existing wicking textiles, Sweatextile mimics the perspiration action of human skin, quickly directing and dissipating excessive sweat as water droplets on the outer surface, keeping the wearer dry, comfortable, and having greater energy and endurance. In addition to enjoying fast wicking and moisture dissipation, Sweatextile protects wearers from external liquids such as rain and contaminated water. This innovation can benefit a wide range of consumers including outdoor enthusiasts and highly-active professionals.
