Specialists from the Baltic Federal University named after Kant, together with the startup "Texhol", have developed an innovative material that can cool the body when the temperature rises. The first batch of T-shirts made from this fabric has already been released to demonstrate the capabilities of the technology.
The new textile combines several functions: it automatically regulates heat exchange, blocks up to 95% of ultraviolet radiation, and suppresses the reproduction of bacteria. This avoids overheating during physical exertion and eliminates unpleasant odors even after intense workouts. According to the developers, the material is especially in demand in the production of sports equipment and workwear for workers in hot shops or construction sites.
The project was implemented as part of the "Student Startup" program with the support of the SmartTextiles scientific and educational center. The technology is based on the introduction of polymer components into the structure of the fabric, which activate a cooling effect upon contact with sweat or an increase in ambient temperature.
