fabric
No need to wash ever again | |
I think and interesting concept would be that of a self deoderizing and stain free fabric. The fabric would detect (through body heat maybe) that the garmet was becoming stinky and release a fragrence. At the same time if any stains impregnated the fabric chemicals intertwined into the fabric would
release and 'eat up' the stain. This could also be combined with the iron-free fabrics already available to elimnate having to ever wash again! I would definately be interested!!! Lastly, another point in which to add would be that the fragrance could be choosen by the consumer to suit the cologne or perfume that you wear!

Yeah, cool. Let us know when you figure out a way to do it. |
|

Well we're nearly there so that makes this nearly baked. As everybody probably knows, Polypropylene fabric is made of a fibers that contribute capillary actions to the fabric. |
|
| |
With future refinements it should be even better at dissipating perspiration and become more impervious to molecular attraction of odor compounds. Perhaps it will still need a mechanical shake now and then but taking said garments off to shower should do just the trick. Personally, quality wool works as well or better for me.
But don't let my tip distract you from the Help file. |

The only synthetic that I know of that acts like an organic capillary medium is polymethmethacrylate, the stuff that soft contacts are made of. Fibers woven into a block and then machined to an optical fineness. |

I wasn't describing a molecular pipette.
I was generalizing though and in that sense the term 'capillary action' applies. |

...combined with [link] we have a current 'workable' phenomenon wouldn't you think? |
|
| |
ah yes . . . "wicking" is really the right term. Like good quality cotton gym socks. |
|

Bristolz, thanks for keeping me on my toes. Adjustments made. <aside>You should consider trying a quality make of woolen sport socks. They work so much better.</> |

I would like to place an order for five pair of coveralls please. |

There are fabrics currently being created that have these features. They use nanotechnology with nanos that "eat" sweat, which reduces odour and also can be made to release fragrance. |

Get a better title, 'fabric' is baked. |
