Expo shows new technology, special fabrics, skin contact, cooling

The Expo has always been hailed as an Olympic event in the human economy, culture, and science and technology. However, for ordinary people, how the new technologies and ideas displayed in each pavilion translate into bits and pieces of life in the future is the most anticipated. Highlights.

Yesterday, South Korea's Chairman of the 2012 Yeosu Expo Organizing Committee, Jiang Dongxi, stated at the Korea Pavilion National Day that both the Shanghai World Expo and the Yeosu World Expo have the same emphasis on “people-oriented” and hope that humankind will have a better urban environment in the future. What technology can we enter into our lives in the near future?

Special fabrics can cool the skin

How hot the weather wears less? This idea can be changed. At the Shanghai World Expo, textile technology also enabled volunteers to show their style. Not only limited to "conceptual" products, some apparel fabrics containing advanced technology and special functions have been applied to the clothing of World Expo volunteers and service personnel.

Rain-proof, wind-proof, anti-fouling, moisture-absorbing, breathable, anti-ultraviolet, fire-retardant, quick-drying. The green or blue clothing worn by the Expo's volunteers has the above functions. The fabric also has the effect of instantaneous cooling. When the fabric contacts the skin, it can produce a cool feeling of 1-2°C for a short time. Under the long-term sunlight, the temperature difference of the coolness can reach 3-5°C. In addition, this cool fiber's moisture regain and fiber thermal diffusion rate are better than ordinary fibers, and there are a variety of complex natural minerals, jade and other imports, is a multi-functional environmental protection fabric.

It is reported that this highly "friendly" high-tech fabrics will be promoted after the World Expo.

Old clothes buried underground can be used as fertilizer

Imagine that the safflowers in the garden no longer need hard fertilization, as long as you can bury the clothes you don’t wear, it’s a double-edged sword.

The staff of the German Pavilion are wearing white T-shirts. After the World Expo, they will be buried under the German Pavilion and will remain in China to provide the trees for the Expo. Because these T-shirts are made of a special material, they can degrade.

In the Japanese Industrial Pavilion, the kimono worn by the service staff uses a recyclable new fabric made of heat-resistant bio-plastic fibers and Kyoto's traditional silk fabric, Tango crepe. After the World Expo, these uniforms were shipped back to Japan and processed and recycled through recycling and recycling systems.

Old clothes get such a low-carbon “home”, and new clothes also have their own high-tech experience. In the short video of the Shangqiu-General Enterprise Pavilion, which imagines the future of life, clothing, food and transportation, shoppers can press the button in front of the digital fitting system to know the effect of clothes of different styles and colors on their own body type. It is understood that this digital fitting system is not an illusion. Many companies have already begun research and development. Perhaps in the near future, every beauty-loving woman will be able to purchase this “magic mirror”.
