In bionics, knowledge of construction and development principles found in nature are adapted for technical applications, which are everywhere evident in modern life. The Japanese designer Jun Kamei took this approach to develop a new material for diving suits in which he adapted the way amphibians breathe through their skin. Amphigill, a fabric generated by a 3D printer, uses a gill mechanism to extract oxygen from the surrounding water and to dissipate carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6670\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/trop-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/trop-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/trop.jpg 489w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/>\n<p>This innovative material served as the basis for\u2028breathable hydrophobic fabrics used in outdoor clothing. The surface structure of this material was inspired by the lotus effect. The leaves of the lotus flower, the symbol of purity in Asian religions, have minute wax crystals that form knobby structures on their surface. Water just slides off the surface and takes dirt and dust particles with it. It is a natural self-cleaning characteristic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6667 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/ado.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"145\" \/>These wax crystals, each one thousands of times thinner than a strand of human hair, protect beetles from either drowning or being infected by harmful bacteria. This is because water mol- ecules have positively and negatively charged poles that attract other polar molecules. Since wax is molecularly non-polar, water droplets simply slide off. Water molecules cannot adhere to its surface.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MnlOyqM0sSA?si=vodEw0kn4lKO4ZKy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-6668\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/jacke-258x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"258\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/jacke-258x300.jpg 258w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/jacke.jpg 555w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/>In order to recreate this effect, the designer developed a basic, inherently hydrophobic polymer. While the water-resistant material Amphitex doesn\u2018t need a coating, outdoor clothing impreg- nated with particles of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are harmful because they get into the environment simply from ordinary wear and tear, and washing. The European Union\u2019s REACH regulation classifies PFAS as \u201esubstances of very high concern\u201c because they contami- nate drinking water as well as the soil.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Amphitex was developed with a small tool box of materials that gave it hydrophobic qualities. Since this fabric is mono-material, it is completely recyclable and thus subject to the process of natural circularity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos:\u00a0 \u00a9 Amphico, Adobe Stock<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Waterproof clothing is a must-have on set.
