"Shark skin" inspired apparel fabrics industry

On August 10, U.S. player Michael Phelps won the men's 400m individual medley race in 4:03:84 to win the championship and break the world record. The crowd believed that the new shark skin swimsuit on his body helped a lot when Phelps, who dreamed of hitting eight Olympic gold medals, dived into the pool. Admittedly, competition clothing is one of the factors that determine the Olympic Games. Its scientific and technological content can affect the psychology and emotion of athletes and help athletes to create good grades. Shi Xiaoming swimming coach believes that if athletes wearing high-tech clothes to participate in the competition, to be more confident, that is to have a role. Magic "Sharkskin four generations" swimsuit, I do not know whether it is just the technological content of the athletes affect the psychological and emotional, but it is set off a storm swimming pool edge. Chinese swimming regiment chase "sharkskin" Earlier this year, the "sharkskin four generations" swimsuit, with Phelps one after another to break dozens of world records renowned international swimming. Just eight weeks before the opening of the Olympic Games, the China Swimming Association hopes SPEEDO will provide the Chinese swimming team with the swimwear they need during the Beijing Olympic Games swimming competition. SPEEDO Marketing staff said: "As NIKE has a long-term sponsorship contract with the Chinese swimming team, this cooperation is allowed by the NIKE, the two brands in order to reach the consensus of the Chinese swimming team reached: NIKE as the main sponsor allows SPEEDO is a swimsuit provided free of charge by FINA partners in the country. "As the swimsuit is already in short supply, it is too time-consuming for swimmers to submit SPEEDO's request to Swimwear, A list of 29 people offers 2 swimsuits per person. New Fabrics Offer Winning Opportunities Although the Chinese swim team declined to say how much they could improve after wearing the shark skins, the wonders of the team could have been won if 58 were given away by a national team for commercial sponsorship. According to SPEEDO's promotional material, LZR RACER has been independently tested to demonstrate that the new swimwear reduces drag by 4% and reduces oxygen consumption by 5%, resulting in a 2% improvement in results. This is almost half the body's distance. The results of the tests showed that swimmers wearing new swimwear reduce their consumption of oxygen by 5% compared to normal swimmers, and swimmers can achieve the desired speed with less effort. The cost of a shark skin four generations equivalent to about 7,000 yuan, but its life expectancy is only pathetic 6 times. As high-end bathing suits wear their fiber materials after each use, and their materials are rather special, the best use of speed-up swimwear is only 6 times. After that, the functionality of the swimsuit will be reduced and the flexibility will also be reduced, which is not conducive to the best level of athletes. Beijing Olympics, to Phelps, Hackett, represented by many swimming Titans one-man dressed in "shark skin", even not SPEEDO's contracted athletes Japan Frog King Kitasuke are changing before the game . More and more "deified" "shark skin", in the end only apposite, or genuine? In any case, SPEEDO, a high-tech company, seized the golden moment of fortune, which is the best return for SPEEDO's 3-year, multi-million pound R & D process in conjunction with NASA and the Australian Fluid Laboratory. Apparel, new materials by the club appearance Olympic Games Heroes brought a magic weapon to win, all kinds of new sports apparel materials have played by the club appearances. In such a contest, the biggest winner is undoubtedly the possession of advanced technology businesses. Domestic apparel industry, new materials, while people exclaimed shark skin four generations of this magical high-tech achievements, while thinking about the future direction of the development of new clothing materials. "Shark skin four generations of" research and development is a huge systematic project. It is SPEEDO's breakthrough in swimwear design and innovation, culminated in years of research and experimentation by Aqualab, a full-time lab that includes scientists, biologists, shark experts and computer fashion design specialists, swimming coaches and athletes High-tech products. Multidisciplinary collaboration, it is the domestic garment and apparel industry "weakness." Back in front of the Beijing Olympic Games venues, Beijing in August hot weather, sportswear, good permeability and perspiration at this time is the athlete most in need. The audience is convinced that the Olympic stadium athletes colorful professional clothing, have a high technological content. But how much of this is our own research and development by China? Take Beijing for example. In the past two years, the Municipal Science and Technology Commission has successively supported a number of garment enterprises in carrying out R & D projects in science and technology. After years of full cooperation between the Central Government and local enterprises in Beijing, the academy has nurtured a group of new production, teaching and research institutes. Many scientific research institutes in Beijing demonstrated the new materials and technological achievements independently developed in the field of textile science and technology at the "Science and Technology Fashion - The New Technology, New Materials, New Design and New Life Show" sponsored by Capital Science and Technology Group. Such as the Beijing Institute of Clothing developed PA6 / E Blend island ultrafine fibers, Beijing Institute of Textile Science developed water-soluble hemostatic materials and the PLA General Logistics Department Han Ma Research Center, hemp products, have a higher commercial value. However, the achievement of industrialization of these scientific and technological achievements still remains for a long time. The marriage of science and technology and the Olympics made us feel the charm of the Olympics and appreciate the magic of science and technology. Beijing Olympic Games will raise people's awareness of the elements of modern science and technology and accelerate the R & D and technology transfer of new technologies in the future. After the Olympic Games, the Chinese garment-related enterprises will further promote the leading and promoting role of science and technology in the traditional industries toward the modern industry , To cultivate a new type of modern industry to provide technical support.
