Engineers at Stanford University developed a plastic-based textile that can be woven into fabric for clothing, in order to help people in hot climates stay cool without air conditioning. The new clothing material cools the body more than synthetic or other natural fabrics that are used to make clothes we see today. Yi Cui, Associate professor of Materials Science and Engineering said, "If you can cool the person rather than the building where they work or live, that will save energy," The new material is based off polyethylene. According to the report, wearers would feel nearly 4 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than in cotton clothing. The research team plans to add more colors, textures and clothing characteristics to their new material.
斯坦福大學的工程師們開發了一種以塑料為原材料的紡織品，可以織進布料中制作衣服，為了讓熱帶地區的人們沒有空調也能感受到涼爽。這種新型衣服材料的降溫效果比我們現在用來制作衣服的人工纖維或其它天然纖維效果更好。材料科學與工程學副教授奕翠說，“如果你能夠給人降溫而不是給他們工作和生活的房子降溫，那樣會節省能源?！边@種新型材料的基礎是聚乙烯。根據這份報告，穿著這種材料的人會比穿棉制品的人感覺涼快4華氏攝氏度。研究團隊打算給這種新材料添加更多顏色、圖案以及服裝特點。
