Application: Adaptive fabrics with selective permeability and their uses (Patent ID: US20240167219A1)
The patent filed by Sony Group Corp. pertains to adaptive materials for use in textiles, wearables, and smart clothing. The functional fabrics or devices described in the patent have selective reversible permeability that changes upon exposure to external stimuli like humidity, temperature, electrical, magnetic fields, pH, and chemicals. These materials can transition between different states based on the stimuli, such as open/close pores, soft/hard texture, or varying grip levels. The patent also covers the incorporation of humidity and temperature responsive materials into the fabric, allowing for applications like humidity sensors, temperature sensors, smart thermo-regulating clothing, and sport bandages.
Furthermore, the patent details the use of patterned fabrics with incorporated materials that respond to external stimuli, such as humidity and temperature responsive polymers. These materials can be controlled electronically to induce specific deformations, opening or closing patterned openings in the fabric. The patent also discusses the application of these fabrics in various fields, including agriculture, outdoor purposes, and everyday objects, as well as the use of printed actuators for shape-changing interfaces. Overall, the patent focuses on the development of innovative fabrics and devices that can adapt to different environmental conditions and stimuli for improved functionality and performance in various applications.
