In recent years we have heard a lot about graphene and its countless applications, but its use in textiles is rather recent.
U-Power Research & Development, always alert to the possibilities of new technologies to be used in the field ofaccident prevention and personal protective equipment, has designed new garments made of graphene fabric to offer increasingly comfortable and safe workwear.
If you have never heard of graphene and its many properties, in this article you can find out what it is and the advantages of this new technology applied to workwear.
Let's see together what it is all about.
In the textile field, graphene offers countless advantages.
Its special properties make these fabrics ideal for both workwear andtechnical sportswear, as well as in fashion and design.
It is an extremely thin and light substance, very flexible but also highly resistant, with antibacterial and antistatic properties , and the ability to dissipate heat in particularly hot situations and to keep warm, in cold weather situations.
Let's learn more about graphene!
Read the article to learn more about graphene and its applications.
Graphene was discovered in 2004 by two Russian scientists, Andrej Gejim and Konstantin Novosëlov, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 for finding a real treasure trove. Its applications, in fact, are endless and seem to presage a real industrial revolution
But what is this material and what is it used for?
Graphene is a very thin structure of graphite, a sheet of carbon the thickness of an atom.
Carbon is the origin of several materials: when atoms bond randomly, you get graphite; if the structure is ordered, you get diamond.
Graphene has the same ordered structure as diamond-and the same mechanical strength!-but it has only two dimensions. Thus, it is extremely light but extremely flexible and strong.
But what are the properties that make it so special?
What makes graphene special is the hexagonal symmetry of its lattice and the two-dimensional movement of electrons that is a hundred times greater than the already fast movement of silicon transistors. We can imagine electrons as projectiles traveling without ever deviating from their path.
Graphene 's compact structure is impermeable to molecules and all gases, and in addition to its remarkable electronic and physical properties are its mechanical properties and its special ability to transport heat.
To date, research is working on the use of graphene in various fields, with very promising prospects.
In the textile sector, however, remarkable results have already been achieved, and in this sense, we can speak of a new concept of "warmth and comfort " ... and more!
Graphene fabric, as mentioned, has found wide application in clothing and, in particular, in workwear andtechnical clothing, greatly improving the quality of clothing.
The most important and innovative feature is the ability of this technologically advanced fabric to lower body temperature in particularly hot situations and, at the same time, to maintain warmth when it is cold with dynamic temperature regulation, "moving" heat from the hottest to the coldest points.
This means being able to rely on work clothes that provide an ideal microclimate and constant comfort with significant increases in well-being and performance.
In addition, graphene is:
Non-toxic;
Antibacterial;
Antistatic;
Hypoallergenic.
It incredibly improves the performance of fabrics in terms of lightness and strength, avoiding the accumulation of electrical charges on the surface of fabrics and related small and annoying shocks that, especially synthetic fabrics, can sometimes produce.
The lightness of the garment together with the distribution of heat, with constant ideal temperature, reduces stress and fatigue during the most intense moments of exertion, while the greater strength of the garment ensures its prolonged durability.
All these features make graphene fabric a true innovation that U-Power presents in its U-Supremacy range/assortment the most technologically advanced and always on the cutting edge.
U-Supremacy, U-Power 's most technologically advanced line of workwear grows and complements the already presentHeiQ Pure, HeiQ Smart Temp and Polartec eco-engineering technologies with the innovative graphene fabric in a series of new workwear offerings - work jacket, padded vest, waterproof work pants, rain shell, etc. - , which put all the properties offered by graphene to use.
Let's take a detailed look at garments padded with graphene fabric.
Wink is a winter work jacket with a rich design that ensures heat distribution and retention, durability and strength of the garment, providing maximum comfort, not only during work but also during leisure time.
Technologically advancedhooded jacket, with graphene padding with bacteriostatic and odor control properties, with a casual look, available in different colors.
Extremely lightweight graphene makes Wink a weightless outerwear, leaving ample freedom of movement and a pleasant feeling of warmth and well-being.
Wink is a water-repellent jacket with soft microfleece on the inside of the collar, Velcro-adjustable cuffs, and an inner windproof cuff with thumbhole for added body insulation from drafts and cold.
Elasticized drawstring waist ensures maximum fit while numerous pockets provide functionality and practicality: two handwarmer pockets with drainage holes plus two vertical front pockets, one vertical chest pocket and two large inner pockets.
The opening on the inside back allows for customization of the garment by facilitating prints and embroidery, while the reflex band on the left side of the chest and on the double-adjustable hood ensures increased visibility.
Wink is the innovative soft and warm winter work jacket that gives you the highest performance in thermoregulation and comfort.
A new well-being and lightness, all to try!
One of the main characteristics of grapheneis, as we have seen, its ability to distribute heat; which means that it not only maintains a constant temperature on the body, but is able to disperse excess heat when it is hot.
An exceptional property that, in spring and fall, becomes a guarantee of well-being even when sudden temperature changes occur and that we find in theWall work vest from the U-Supremacy range/assortment.
Wall is a work vest with remarkable bacteriostatic and odor control properties, with a sporty design ideal for work and leisure: it is water-repellent; it is breathable; it guarantees an excellent fit thanks to the Softshell side inserts and the stretch fabric at the bottom and sleeve lap; and it has numerous pockets.
Let us now look at the rain pants and the waterproof shell.
Graphene can be used in clothing either as padding or as a print inside the garment, so as to allow active interaction between the fabric and the body, to promote the even distribution of body heat.
This intelligent thermoregulationaction ensures a pleasant feeling of comfort and well-being in all weather conditions, guaranteeing high performance even in the most adverse conditions. Graphene printing is the technique used in the design of Biokorain pants and Tutendoshell jacket .
Let's find out the features together!
Waterproof work pants with graphene applied to the inner side. Bioko is a thermoregulating work pants equipped with waterproof side zippers that allow the garment to be put on more quickly and zippered, also waterproof, through-front pockets.
Graphene ensures excellent bacteriostatic and odor-control properties, even when worn for many hours, significantly improving garment hygiene.
Bioko matches the Tutendo rain shell.
