Dr SHOU Dahua, Member of the Research Institute for Intelligent Wearable Systems (RI-IWEAR), the Research Institute for Sports Science and Technology (RISports) and the Research Centre of Textiles for Future Fashion (RCTFF), Limin Endowed Young Scholar in Advanced Textiles Technologies and Associate Professor in the School of Fashion and Textiles, was featured on i-Cable’s TV programme “InnoAction”, to introduce his two inventions supported by the Innovation and Technology Fund.
The innovation, “Omni-Cool-Dry”, is a premium anti-heat skin-like fabric that provides wearers with all-day cool, dry, breathable and comfortable feel, by quickly dissipating liquid sweat as water droplets to prevent the sensation of wetness and saturation, and selectively reflecting solar radiation and emitting body heat to the cold universe for cooling.
Another invention, “iActive”, an intelligent, electrically activated activewear designed for sweat management, uses nature-inspired technologies, including low-voltage-driven artificial “sweat glands” and a root-like branching liquid transport system that aligns with the body’s sweat map, for removing sweat effectively and programmably.
