Graphene, with excellent thermal dispersion, can be used to provide extra thermal regulation

There is a big challenge in protecting human from extreme environmental conditions, as under extreme environmental conditions the tradition thermal protective clothing is far from enough to ensure the safety and wellbeing of human. Thus, it is important to develop new thermal insulating materials with outstanding thermal insulation performance to withstand both thermal conduction and thermal radiation.

Heat is generally transferred via thermal conduction, thermal radiation and thermal convection. The clothing system serves as the barrier between environment and human body, in which the fibrous materials and fibrous structure dominate the heat transfer from body to environment. Graphene is an extremely effective heat conductor material with excellent absorption and emission of far infrared radiation, with an high absorption for wavelengths in the range 100-281 nm and high reflection over 281 nm and provides both heating and cooling through heat dissipation. Graphene can keep the basal body temperature stable, with no strong thermal fluctuations detected in the event of changes to the surrounding temperature or physical exertion.

GUP^® used in finishing treatments gives excellent anti UV protection

In recent years, with the rapid development of industry, the ozone layer in the atmosphere has been seriously damaged Without the protection of the ozone layer, people are more exposed to ultraviolet radiation Therefore, anti ultraviolet radiation is becoming increasingly important
Textile clothing is the most effective tool to protect human body, so it is necessary to carry out anti ultraviolet finishing on textiles Some fabrics naturally have certain anti UV effect, such as wool, silk, polyester and so on Due to the benzene ring, aromatic amino acids and other functional groups in their molecular structure, they have good absorption for ultraviolet light below 300 nm However, for cotton fabric, the structure of cotton fiber does not contain benzene ring, and the longitudinal distortion is not smooth, so the ultraviolet ray is easy to pass through the cotton fabric Therefore, the anti ultraviolet finishing of cotton fabric is very important Graphene GUP^® an aromatic hydrocarbon molecule composed of a (infinite sheet of fused benzene rings (or sp carbon atoms bonded in fused hexagons) has the advantages of high refractive index, strong UV shielding ability and photocatalytic effect Therefore, if combined with cotton fabric, it can improve the anti UV performance of the fabric and protect people from ultraviolet radiation

GUP^® used in finishing treatments for high demanding smart textiles

Electrically conductive textiles make it possible to produce interactive electronic textiles They can be used for communication, entertainment, health care, safety, homeland security, com putation, thermal purposes, protective clothing, wearable electronics and fashion Conductive textiles that change their electrical properties as a result of a physical variable can be considered a sensor Textile sensors can be designed to measure temperature, biopotential ( myographs, encephalographs), acoustic ( lungs, digestion, joints), ultrasound (blood flow), biological, chemical, motion ( pressure ( radiation ( spectroscopy), odor sweat, mechanical skin parameters, and electric skin parameters INKGUP Fabric and GUP C Paste help to have coatings with very low resistivity and find applications in smart wear, workwear, heating devices and EMI shielding textiles
