Finally got the time watch this video, I love it. Can not wait for more videos in this series. It is all fun and cool wearing techwear and being apart of the community but there has been very little discussion on the science behind the clothing. This is very good information for taking into consideration how to optimally manage moisture while layering. I am curious to see how this technology will advance and see something like it implemented at a consumer level with clothes. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much! I think knowing the science behind techwear is neccesary to be able to use it really effectively. And allthough i get the impression that most people are mainly interested in just fitpics I want to share my thoughts about the science behind techwear more and more. A shame that this kind of video takes ages to research. How do you think could I improve the video, make it more digestible or looking/sounding more interesting? Do you have an opinion on that?

Sew Much Black it is not worth degrading the content and making it more palatable because it is high level content so I think just keep on doing it how you’ve been doing it. Only comment i have is some of the edits were short or you didn’t cut early enough. So try to get rid of any “dead” air. Other than that it’s great loved the little text animations and graphics accompanied with the video to help visualize what you’re explaining.

Really appreciate you breaking down the science AND listing the sources!

thank you very much. Allthugh I know that many sources are hidden behind paywalls, I want to do whats legally possible to get you going in your own understanding of the topic, and help you making your own judgement.

@@SewMuchBlack For those of us that are motivated to dive deeper into the science there's definitely a number of charitable individuals that help in accessing these documents ;)

Loved it! Thanks for uploading detailed explanation. I would love to see more in this series (protective textiles, etc.)

thanks! that video was one hell of a research project, but I would like to do more in the future, as soon as I have more time and energy for this. currently doing a textile/fiver themed bachelors thesis, so academical opportunities for such topics could arise in the future.

Very well explained my man! Keep them videos coming!!

thank you very much! yesterday in a university lecture we talked one and a half hours about regenerated cellulose fibers, and next semester will be a dedicated lecture for synthetic fibers (from polyester through nylon to dyneema and kevlar). lets see what I can share about this :).

Thank you for the explanation. I've been interested in Phase Change Materials and how they work, and if they work. While this is a different process it does promising.

IMHO the most important thing to keep in mind is that those materials and options are all very limited to a certain temperature range, but in this specific range, a little change in temperature stability can mean very much comfort wise. And getting additional building blocks into the sstem expands what we are capable of using in materials.

Thanks for the video. Still, according to the article, if you're hot/sweating the yarns tight (making the inter-fiber spacing wider), if you're cold the yarn crimps (get loose) closing the yarn inter-fiber spacing), not the opposite, as you said in the video. Anyway, thanks for the explanation, helped me to better understand this technology.

Thanks for this comment! Will re-read the article, now I am curious whether I had understood it the right way.

Couple of questions/comments related to this if you may add some insight to these: 1) Since it involve carbon nanotube, so the overall cost of the fabric is increased. In future when the technology becomes commercial, how would be the market for a casual customer who in cost-oriented? 2) As you mentioned the fabric may not be that much effective for quick physical activity (quick running or any sports that involve such quick activity) then for a casual person I think the market is tough. 3) For the IR protective clothing (used as camouflage by military to avoid being detected by IR/Thermal scanners) what would be the theoretical concept? As in this case you said the object smaller than the IR radiation would react with IR.

I have close to no idea how or when this technology gets on the market. this was "just" a research paper I was made aware by someone in the community a few years back. (1) I guess fabrics like these are top of the line, if any customers are interested anyways. (2) yes I guess it is more for casual wear, and not for high intensity. I mean ... in very cold or very hot environments every fabric solution to regulate your thermals is gonna fail. (3) no idea. And not the time to do more research on this at the moment, sorry

Sorry i 'm a little dim. To my understanding, the material regulates our body temperature which is a great breakthrough. What is the fabric composition? And if it's synthetic, how safe is it and how does the chemical atoms react to sun (human research experiment done? test for traces of remnants in blood/haemoglobin?) air, water (does it contaminated the water/sea/sealife/we consume...). My apologies for the endless questions, i have more but thought I'll stop here. I happened to own a lot of synthetics clothing, i find light polyester clothes during hotter climate do cool my body, dark colours i feel the heat being retain perhaps good for cooler evenings. Btw, I love viscose!

That was a scientific study, so the material is not on the general market. It was a mixture of synthetically made fibers, so there is no data about how UV resistant it is, for example. Environmental contamination mostly comes from additives added to the polymer, or solvents that are used in the spinning process - and those vary greatly between different manufacturing processes. If you like cellulosic fibers, you may want to take a look at Lyocell. Its more gnetle on the skin than viscose, and it has a way smaller environmental impact than the production of viscose.

Sehr schönes und vor allen Dingen informatives Video geworden, du hattest das Thema ja leicht auf Instagram schon mal angesprochen. Das Ganze klingt sehr interessant, ich werd‘ auch gleich noch ein wenig in den Quellen lesen, ich find‘s bloß ein wenig schade, dass der Stoff an sich nicht auch für Sport gedacht ist, aber da das Ganze ja noch in Entwicklung ist, ist das ja in Ordnung. Meine eigentliche Frage ist aber: Kann man den Stoff auch als Privatperson in kleineren Mengen erwerben, oder ist das wie auch bei Schoeller‘s Dryskin oder bei X-Pac, dass es schwierig wird, wenn man keine Firma ist daran zu kommen?

Ich sehe das auch für Sport als nutzbar an - vor allem wenn man Sport macht bei dem sich die Umgebungstemperatur oder körperliche Anstrengung immer wieder verändern. Ob und wann man das kaufen kann - keine Ahnung. Das is jetzt erst mal ne erste akademische Studie - ob und wenn ja wie das in Masse produziert werden kann is ja noch gar nicht klar. Und dann wirds erst mal wahrscheinlich wirklich n Spezialstoff sein. Ich bin mal gespannt wie die generelle Entwicklung in der Branche ist ... in Fast Fashion werden solche Stoffe sicher nicht genutzt aber bei Sportmarken wie Nike/Adidas oder auch in nem Uniqlo Shirt kann ich mir das vorstellen. Da muss aber noch viel Arbeit gemacht werden um das anwendbar zu machen schätze ich.

Sir , I really want to know of how to process line by line and please can you tell me , how I can make this clothes?? 🙏🏻 Practically and Theory

hello can i get your email..i have some doubts for a personal project and would be grateful if you can provide me some insight
