Copper jacket a step toward disease-resistant clothing
15/05/2020
The Full Metal Jacket is made with 65% copper. With its ability to conduct heat and power while killing bacteria and viruses, the company said, copper is a potential first building block for the future of clothing.
“As we look for materials that offer us resistance to disease on Earth and up in space, and a base on which to build intelligent clothing, copper is set to be at the centre of innovation again,” according to the company. “Used to create the earliest recorded medical tools in ancient Egypt, and the latest medical tools being developed by NASA, we decided to build an entire jacket out of it.”
