Science Magazine publishes an article on tissues that may help regulate man's temperature

The renowned Science Magazine published today, in its volume n. 353, ed. n. 6303, an article on tissues that may help regulate man's temperature.

According to the authors, nanoporous polyethylene (nanoPE) is transparent to the average infrared radiation of the human body, but opaque to visible light, because of the pore size distribution.

The authors processed nanoPE to develop a fabric that promotes effective radiative cooling and has sufficient air permeability, good water absorption rate and mechanical strength. They have developed a device to simulate skin temperature, which shows temperatures down to 2.7 °C lower when covered with a nanoPE fabric than when covered with cotton.

Thus, the authors concluded that processed nanoPE is an effective tissue for the regulation of personal temperature.
