An entrepreneur from Arizona decided to use polymers to create a product that literally saves human health, thanks to its cooling properties. He suggested sewing polymers inside the material and creating stylish scarves, which can cool in the hot weather. The principle of the cooling scarf is the following: when it becomes wet, polymers absorb moisture and through the natural process of evaporation create a cooling effect in the area of the carotid arteries, vessels of back and...

A self cleaning cloth will be able to destroy bacteria and toxins when exposed to light, which could be used to make safer clothing for farmers and medical workers. The cloth could be developed by incorporating the unusual compound 2-anthraquinone carboxylic acid (2-AQC) into the fabric. The compound will bond to the cotton without changing its properties, and produce hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide when exposed to light, which instantly will kill bacteria and break down...

Why not create a solar handbag able to generate enough power to charge a mobile phone and still will look fashionable? The bag's outer layer will be made up of 100 small silicon solar cells that will be arranged in a decorative pattern. Conductive embroidery woven into the surface will deliver the harnessed solar energy to a lithium-ion battery within the purse. The solar cells will have an efficiency of 9% and will be able to generate two watts, even without much daily sunlight...

Why not create a new fabric able to release active substances over time, delivering medicines through the skin of the wearer? The fabric will include a 'donor layer' which will coat each fiber. The wearer's own body warmth, perspiration, and vibration will cause the fabric to release its medicine at a controllable rate. The fabric will be washed in any conventional washing machine and then re-supplied with medicine.

A new LED technology will be paired with a smart phone app to help customers find specific items while shopping. The technology will involve the use of radio frequency tags that will be applied to the merchandise. Upon entering the store, the customer will use a public computer or their own smart phone to pinpoint the location of the object, which the system will able to determine by reading the flicker rate of the overhead LED lights. This flicker system will allow the tags...

The idea is to create a spray-on antibacterial coating which will work even after several washings and will be applied to a variety of textiles as well as other materials. The polymer coating is supposed to be simple, inexpensive, and scalable. Able to kill a wide spectrum of bacteria, yeasts, and molds, it will be applied to both natural and synthetic materials, either during manufacturing or at home by the owner. The coating will be able to survive several hot water washings, and...

The search for the perfect pair of jeans will get easier with the launch of this idea. Why not mail custom made jeans directly to person's door. Customers will first visit an office where they will be scanned in the company's pre-existing 3D scanners. The data will then be analyzed by custom software, allowing customers to choose from varying styles of wash, rise, or fit. The jeans will be manufactured at a central facility and mailed to the client. The system is supposed to...

Online shopping is based on trust. A buyer should believe that a real picture of a commodity is displayed in the Internet, all disadvantages are enumerated and the price isn't overstated.

Just imagine: you are going to buy a car / boat / real estate but you are lazy to go to the other end of the country and examine the possible purchase; then you find a...

The shopping trolley handle will use LED's to let shoppers keep track of each item's food miles. The handle mounted device will be able to scan a product's barcode and determine its food miles, or how far it has traveled to reach the store. A series of LEDs will light up in relationship to how many food miles each item costs, with a larger number of lights indicating more miles. The handle can also be calibrated to measure factors such as fat, salt, and seasonality.
