New Materials Permeable to Water Vapor

New Materials Permeable to Water Vapor by Harro Träubel.

Wool, leather or cotton like most natural products are permeable to air and water vapor. The reason for this property is a fibrous structure consisting of chains of hydrophilic constituents such as cellulose or collagene. It is difficult to imitate this natural phenomenon by synthesis. Ways to obtai...
