Application Of Nanotechnology In Three To Five Years Will No Longer Be A Dream Of Mask Haze Prevention.

Can a mask be able to prevent haze? Yesterday, the eighty-ninth world textile conference hosted by Wuhan Textile University opened in Han Dynasty, the second time this event was held in China. More than 300 experts from the textile industry and academia from more than 20 countries and regions, including the United States, Britain and Germany, have gathered together to talk about the future development trend of the textile industry. Reporters learned from the meeting that in the next three to five years, the nano technology anti haze respirator will achieve mass production and the general public can afford it.

Anti haze masks are popular in 35 years.

Reporters learned from the meeting that at present, Wuhan Textile University has successfully developed "nanofiber spinning technology". The mask made by this technology can effectively filter the micro material below 100 nm. "Viruses and bacteria are generally measured in microns, so the mask can not only filter most viruses, including Ebola virus, but also isolate PM2.5." Wuhan Wang Xun, Dean of textile science and engineering of Textile University, said: "nanofiber spinning technology" mask is light and thin, like napkins, which can filter harmful substances efficiently while making the wearer breathe easily. However, under the restriction of cost and production conditions, the present mask is not mature enough, but it is expected that in the next three to five years, the "nano" anti haze respirator will enter the market and make it possible for most people to afford it.

Smart underwear protects your health

An ordinary white vest can display different colors as the body temperature changes. Yesterday, Chen Xiaogang, an associate professor at University of Manchester, said that smart textiles and wearable technology had entered the stage of in-depth research and development. In the near future, people can understand the body through clothing. function Conditions even predict diseases.

Chen Xiaogang told reporters that the sensor can be implanted into the underwear worn by the wearer, which can immediately monitor the body function related data of the wearer's body temperature and heart rate, and transmit it to the guardian or doctor. "How to ensure that clothes can be kept stable after repeated washing in water need further study and solution. At present, some scientific research institutions and universities in Europe and America are organizing tackling key problems.

Cotton clothing will be More and more expensive

"Although people like pure cotton clothes, about 60% of cotton spinning enterprises are using chemical fiber clothing." Professor Wang Xun, the chairman of the National Conference and the national "thousand person program", said that China is the largest textile producer, exporter and consumer in the world. In addition to everyday clothes, the demand for natural fibers such as cotton is increasing year by year. "20 years ago, China consumed less than 5 kilograms of cotton per person per year, and now it is more than 10 kilograms. Due to the limited raw materials and shortage of natural fiber materials mainly made of high quality cotton, China imports wool and cotton from Australia and Africa every year.

Experts analyzed that the price of cotton clothing in the future will be higher and higher. Many foreign textile enterprises have invested a lot of financial resources in the research and development of new fabrics. Madam Helen.D.Rowe, chairman of the British textile society, believes that in addition to the fabric innovation, the textile industry must be consumer oriented, so that consumers can participate in the design of clothing that they need for life.
