Superhydrophobic spray means no more clothes to wash

My only question is on the breathabillity of the fabric after application, imagine wearing a plastic bag, one of the reasons Cotton is so good is it draws moisture away from the skin, Imagine swimming in your own sweat as your cloths keeps it on your skin?

This is why westerners generally consider eastern cultures (where non cotton fabrics are more prevalent) peoples to be "smelly".

For this reason alone, I always wear cotton boxers, and a cotton Hanes undershirt.

My only fear is many nanomaterials usually have very bad biotoxic properties.

I was reading an article a while back about ways humanity may die off. One of the top ten reasons was Nano-polution, as we are already starting to use products with it and no one has really done long term studies that inhaled or stray nano-particles do to people, one study that was done showed them to be Carcinogenic.

We could accidentally be doing the Asbestos thing again (putting it everywhere before realizing it causes cancer)

Here's an obvious question. What happens if a fully clothed person jumps into cold water? I want to see that.

odor permeates everything. You wouldn't be able to wash all the nasty smell you pick up from random things throughout the day( sweat, cigarette smoke, tear gas) if it even picks up smell.

Nah im just going to coat my skin in the stuff and I wont have to bath again..!

Ah nice..

And 5 years later we have new cancer outbreaks because we became more and more lazy to do the basic stuff in our lives..

This seems like it will be perfect to add into the clear coat of cars. I mean imagine that. Your car would hardly get dirty or rust. It would be great for windshields better than Rain-X.

I don't know if I would put that on my clothes though. Not sure of the side effects

Because that would be as smart as plugging up your rectum and urethra, unless you could figure out how to perform those functions through your mouth and nose.

Sounds to me like hes already halfway there!
