The Mystery of Furry Animals

Written by Thomas Yoon

You become uncomfortable.

How do furry animals keep warm or cool? They don't wear clothing like humans. They seem to be able to adjust their body temperatures in their fur to all weather conditions. Can that be duplicated?

Scientists have been searching forrepparttar solution to comfortable all weather clothing for ages. They were searching for that special fiber that can duplicaterepparttar 110318 thermoregulatory action of a human body and yet feels comfortable to wear.

They have tried using capillary action of closely spaced fibers to drawrepparttar 110319 liquid fromrepparttar 110320 sweat torepparttar 110321 surface and then to evaporate. However in order to be effective,repparttar 110322 fabric need to be worn close torepparttar 110323 skin in order to transportrepparttar 110324 moisture. Wheneverrepparttar 110325 capillary fabric gaps,repparttar 110326 draw is broken and it becomes ineffective. The result - heat is lost forrepparttar 110327 wearer. Wearing tight clothing can be quite uncomfortable sometimes. Maybe they are not so fashionable, or just do not fitrepparttar 110328 many different body sizes.

The latest technological breakthrough lies in utilizing electrostatic charges inrepparttar 110329 fibers. Scientists are now able to move moisture fromrepparttar 110330 body whenever a wearer perspires in warm temperatures using electrostatic charges inrepparttar 110331 fibers. Asrepparttar 110332 wearer's activity decreases,repparttar 110333 fabric will reducerepparttar 110334 evaporative process, leaving a constant water barrier between repparttar 110335 wearer andrepparttar 110336 fabric.

In cold temperatures, a layer of 100% relative humidity is formed betweenrepparttar 110337 skin andrepparttar 110338 fabric, creating an area of moist air that holds more heat during cooler temperatures. By using electrostatic charges to pullrepparttar 110339 moisture away fromrepparttar 110340 skin, scientists are able to increaserepparttar 110341 heat capacity ofrepparttar 110342 trapped air next torepparttar 110343 skin andrepparttar 110344 wearer feels warm.

Individual molecules are separated much faster and thus favor evaporation.

These fibers are special.

They actually duplicate and enhancerepparttar 110345 thermoregulatory actions ofrepparttar 110346 body! They create a vapor barrier to keep you cool when repparttar 110347 weather is warm and warm whenrepparttar 110348 weather is cold.

Truly a technological breakthrough!

Looking After Leather

Written by Jane Lake


Continued from page 1

- Plastic bags tend to dry out or discolor leather. Use a cotton garment bag for off-season storage, or hang coats as usual, draping a tea-towel overrepparttar shoulders to deter dust.

- Avoid pressure-sensitive labels (the stick-on type)asrepparttar 110316 gummy residue left behind by these labels can stain or ruinrepparttar 110317 finish on leather.

- Professional cleaning is best for stain removal. Some commercial stain removers can be absorbed and leave a mar. Home remedies include gently rubbing at minor stains with a pencil eraser or rubbing alcohol (these methods work only on finished leather;; test onrepparttar 110318 inside facing first, to be surerepparttar 110319 leather will not be marred).
