Why not create 'air conditioned' clothing as a way to deal with the restrictions on electricity during the summer heat? It is possible to develop jackets and shirts, as well as cushions and mattresses, with built in fans. The jackets will include two electric fans powered by a lithium ion battery pack. The fans will draw the air in at up to 20 liters per second, circulating it through the jacket where it will dry off sweat and evacuate through the collar and cuffs.

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...

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 new coating for fabric will be able to use sunlight to self clean, removing stains and dirt. The coating will contain a combination of titanium dioxide and nitrogen. Silver iodide nanoparticles added to the coating will improve the fabric's sensitivity to light. Exposing the treated fabric to sunlight will break down the dirt and kills microbes. The coating will retain its efficiency, even after repeated washings. Current light-activated self-cleaning coatings differ from...
