澳洲防水T恤，再也不怕飲料打翻 | The T-shirt That Never Gets Wet

"疏水"T恤，號稱就算打翻飲料也不用怕了

澳洲研發“疏水”棉質T恤，防水防汙最多可承受80次機洗

近日，澳大利亞墨爾本服裝技術品牌公司Threadsmiths運用新發明的面料，製成一款具有開創性的T恤衫，名為騎士(The Cavalier)，不管人們怎樣嘗試著浸濕它，此T恤都能保持良好的防水性能。

該款白色騎士T恤由百分之百棉質製成。雖然表面看起來平淡無奇，但是其面料運用“疏水”奈米技術應用編織而成，使得這件T恤能夠有效防止大部分液體和污漬的浸入。這種T恤可以用機器清洗，其防水功能最多可承受80次清洗。它的面料有天然自淨功能，任何附著在上的污漬都能用水擦洗或沖乾淨。這一品牌目前只生產T恤衫，Threadsmiths品牌的負責人Pitchford表示，大多數人在看到這T恤時都很吃驚，他希望人們對於將這種材料製成哪些衣服提出建議。

目前，這項新技術已被註冊專利。和其他含有化學物質的防水應用不同， Threadsmiths聲稱：“我們的T恤仿照的是荷葉的自然疏水特點。”

業界認為，此面料的發明對於餐館和咖啡廳來說可能具有革命性的影響，因為在那些地方液體灑在桌布上或圍裙上的事幾乎每天都會發生。此外，這種面料還可以運用在醫療行業或醫院等地。

Ever wanted to stay dry in a water fight? Melbourne clothing and technology label Threadsmiths has created a revolutionary T-shirt that remains waterproof no matter how hard you try to soak it.

Made from 100 per cent cotton, the plain white T-shirts called The Cavalier feature a 'hydrophobic' nano-technology application woven in the fabric and capable of repelling most liquids and dirt.

A patented technology, unlike other liquid-repelling applications and aerosols which can contain chemicals, the Threadsmiths website states: 'Our shirts emulate the natural hydrophobic properties of the lotus leaf.' 'The Cavalier shirt contains no aerosol applications and no dangerous chemicals, and is completely safe to wear - as a shirt should be.'

Still breathable, the Australian invention's technology boosts the material's resistance to water and stains by causing it to simply bead up and roll off the fabric.
