Self-Cleaning Sportswear
Why bother washing your sportswear if you can get clothes that clean themselves? Self cleaning sportswear, developed by the military, was created to protect soldiers from biological weapons. In other words, it should be good enough for you! The sportswear can last weeks without washing. It works by attaching nanoparticles to the clothing fiber which provide a protective coating. The fibers both bacteria and force liquid to bead.
Jeff Owens, one of the scientists who worked to develop the process, said, "During Desert Storm, most casualties were from bacterial infections—not accidents or friendly fire. We treated underwear for soldiers who tested them for several weeks and found they remained hygienic. They also helped clear up some skin complaints.
