London:
A research team in the field of chemistry at Cardiff University in the UK has developed a fabric that will not need to be washed and will be cleaned automatically in sunlight. This unique fabric can also be used in reusable sanitary pads.
According to an international website, a research team in the field of chemistry at Cardiff University in the UK has succeeded in inventing a new type of fabric that exposes 99% of bacteria to sunlight.
Sunlight removes stains and odors from clothes, after which you can reuse them in a few minutes. According to the university’s website, experts have developed cloths for hygiene purposes that contain non-toxic metals. Together with the use of solar energy to kill bacteria, remove stains and odors.
Researcher Jennifer Edwards explained that the fabric is first washed with water and then left to dry in the sun to begin the process of killing bacteria. She said the unique fabric is reusable. Can also be used in sanitary pads.
The research team revealed that the most important thing is the antibacterial activity and it is only under light and ineffective in the dark. The experts have received funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Experts are stepping up their efforts to improve the performance of this invention and are developing a product within the next 12 months that will be effective in reducing the chances of a fatal infection.
