These 6 New Materials May Completely Subvert The Textile Industry!

The Spanish Abasi web site recently published six new materials that may change the future.

Materials that can be moved by light.

A research team made up of Technische Universiteit Eindhoven in Holland and Kent State University in the US has successfully developed a material that can move on its own only when light is needed. Scientists have plused the polymer in a rectangular frame and can move with the speed of the caterpillar when it is irradiated by light, but it does not require any impetus. The principle is to integrate the fast response photosensitive variant in the liquid crystal polymer network. When the light is illuminated, one side of the material reflects the light and causes the other side to expand, so that it will become convex when it is illuminated and relax immediately when the light is gone. This special ability makes it the first material in the world that can directly convert light into displacement.

Materials that make wrinkles disappear

This new material developed by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology may make history of plastic surgery. This delicate and soft polymer can be applied to the skin instantly, and it can instantly tighten the skin and eliminate drooping. This silicone based skin polymer will help people keep their skin young. Blessed is the lady who loves beauty.

Material that will never dry.

This new material is also from the scientific research staff of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A team has synthesized a new type of hydrogel, which is made of polymer and water, which can be used to make artificial skin and a flexible robot with bionic function. In addition, this hydrogel is also conductive. The team is conducting research on bioelectronics applications.

Materials isolated from the electromagnetic world

With the continuous development and application of technology, electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones, tablet computers and other Internet devices is increasing. A scientific research team at Drake and Searl University in the US has developed a lightweight nano material that can block and absorb electromagnetic radiation very well, and is expected to become an ideal coating for electronic equipment.

Materials that change shape according to requirements

In the past, most of deformable materials changed shape through reaction to external conditions such as heat, illumination or pH value. Researchers at the University of North Carolina in the US have developed a deformable material that can be made into a predetermined shape at a predetermined time. This new material is made up of hydrogel polymers similar to human tendon and cartilage. It has a very wide application prospect, including space structure, biomedicine and so on.

Materials that make people feel that they are not wearing clothes (refreshing material)

This new fabric material can reflect light and discharge most of the heat generated by the human body. American researchers who developed the material say that wearing clothes made of this material will only increase the body temperature by 0.8 degrees Celsius, while ordinary cotton clothing will increase the body temperature by 3.5 degrees Celsius. Researchers say that if new materials and clothing can make people feel cooler, they can save large amounts of electricity consumed by air-conditioning.
