PROTOTYPE DIOLEN~R CLEAN

摘要

WITH PERMANENT SELF-CLEANING TWD Fibres, in cooperation with the Institute for Textile Technology and Process Engineering (ITV) and the Institute of Textile Chemistry and Chemical Fibers (ITCF) in Germany, has developed a superhydrophobic filament yarn with a permanent built-in self-cleaning effect. A botanical phenomenon, which can be observed for example in lotus plants, gave the impulse for this innovation: leaves with a rough and water-repellent surface structure self-clean, as dirt and microorganisms roll off with the rain.
