Taiwan Invented Chemicals To Make Ordinary Cloth Waterproof.

Rainy days, we all worry.

The polymerization is being carried out in the laboratory. It is difficult to obtain this bottle of polymer chemical. It looks pparent and colorless, like water, but do not belittle it. Because it has amazing effect on cloth, ordinary yellow cloth still maintains softness, but instantly waterproof, forming small droplets on the top.

Dr. Chen Weihong, Department of chemistry, Taiwan University of light, "because we are not."

The key is the same step. The cloth is then irradiated by ultraviolet light, allowing the chemicals to penetrate into the fiber. Then look carefully at the same cloth, the water on the right side is strong before the experiment, and the left side completely blocks the water droplets; instead, it can not only be waterproof, but also has less air permeability; the general waterproof cloth is placed on hot water, and the water vapor will not come at all. However, after the study, the fabric has breathable effect, and it has both low cost and environmental protection effect.

Chen Weihong: "the raw material used is the lotion commonly used in DVD before, then we take it after chemical processing, and then make it into an applied raw material. In the future, we hope it can be applied closer to our daily life, as small as underwear."

The research results have won high praise and even applied for patent in the United States. If the future can be applied in practice, not only will the business opportunities be unlimited, but also people can wear more comfortable waterproof clothing.
