Graphene-based fibre and fabric for fashion: performance-wear

时尚行业的高性能服装部门，包括户外服装和泳装等产品线，目前依赖于Gore-tex和尼龙等材料的机械性能，这些材料对环境有害并会脱落微塑料。我们的项目是使用BioHastalex，一种由新兴材料石墨烯制成的经过充分测试的聚合物，来制造用于性能磨损试验的纤维。BioHastalex是非常强大的，灵活的，轻和透气，比任何其他材料目前市售。它在海水/垃圾填埋场中可生物降解，也可以回收到其溶液形式以重新使用。

The performance-wear sector of the fashion industry, covering product lines like outdoorwear and swimwear, currently relies on materials like Gore-tex and nylon for their mechanical performance which are environmentally harmful and shed microplastics. Any alternative must be able to outperform them mechanically.Our project is to use BioHastalex, a fully tested polymer made from the emerging material graphene, to create fibres for application in a performance-wear pilot. BioHastalex is extremely strong, flexible, light and breathable, moreso than any other material currently commercially available. It is biodegradable in seawater/landfill and can also be recycled back to its solution form for re-use.
