PolyU researchers develop intelligent activewear for a dry and comfortable experience

Caption

The nature-inspired technologies of iActive™ include low-voltage-driven artificial “sweat glands” created by skin-like anti-heat textile fabrics and a root-like branching liquid transport system that aligns with the body’s sweat map. They can actively and programmably remove sweat to a perspiration dissipater at the lower region of the sportswear.
