Innovative fabrics for coping with extreme heat: A look at sweat-wicking and radiative cooling technologies

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • This year is projected to be the **hottest on record**, leading to increased challenges in staying cool during extreme heat.
  • Research and fashion brands are developing **innovative fabrics** that claim to keep wearers cooler by utilizing **sweat-wicking** and **radiative cooling** properties.
  • New materials engineered from polymers can reduce skin temperature significantly, with one type cooling the body **5C to 13C** compared to traditional cotton.
  • Researchers are also exploring **coatings for natural fabrics**, such as cotton treated with nanodiamonds, to enhance comfort and performance.
  • Reducing temperatures by just a few degrees can lead to significant energy savings, essential in mitigating the impacts of climate change.
