Self-Cleaning Fabric Innovation Aims to Reduce Laundry Resource Consumption
Researchers at Southeast University of Nanjing have developed a self-cleaning fabric coating that could significantly reduce the need for detergents in laundry. This innovation aims to transform the traditional laundry process, which typically involves large amounts of water and chemicals, contributing to environmental pollution. The new coating prevents dirt from adhering to fabrics, thus reducing the need for washing with detergents. The coating is effective on various materials, including cotton, silk, and polyester, and works under different light conditions. This development could lead to a more sustainable approach to textile care.
