题目内容
20.Threadsmiths,an Australian garment company based in Melbourne,has just invented a revolutionary new T-shirt that never gets wet or dirty.The garment,called"The Cavalier",is made from 100percent cotton but features brand new"hydrophobic(疏水的)"nano-technology(纳米技术)which is woven(编织)into the cotton and is totally able to resist most liquids,as well as different types of dirt.
The new T-shirt is of course protected by patent(专利)as,unlike other attempts at waterproof and dirtproof garments,it doesn't use aerosols(喷雾剂)which can contain chemicals.As is stated clearly on the Threadsmiths'website:"Our shirts emulate the natural hydrophobic characteristics of the lotus(荷花)leaf.The Cavalier shirt contains no aerosol applications and no dangerous chemicals,and is completely safe to wear-as a shirt should be."
"As it creates a natural self-cleaning effect,the new invention means that any remains left on the garment can easily be wiped off,or simply washed off with water."Lewis Pitchford,an employee at Threadsmiths,spoke about the new product:"Most people are pretty amazed when they see it.Pitchford confirmed that while the company is only producing T-shirts for the time being,they are more than open to suggestions from the public about other types of other clothes that could be produced.
As well as the obvious benefits for the fashion industry,the new material could be revolutionary for restaurants and cafes which could avoid problems caused by spills during busy services.On top of that,restaurants could potentially save a fortune on laundry bills for their staffs aprons and their chefs clothes.
The material is machine washable and apparently is good for at least 80 washes before the full effect of the waterproof technology fades a little.The new T-shirts are available for men and women in a variety of standard sizes and sold for $65 each.
