 Asahi Kasei clarified the mechanism of cooling stockings. The mechanism was clarified for the first time in the world, by quantitative coupled analyses using computational fluid dynamics and surface aspects. Their research proved that the fibres and the fabrics designed to have the special structure can give cooling functions to fibre products. Those products are expected to be developed to contribute to comfortable lives in the world where global warming is progressing.  Their achievement was introduced in an academic journal “Scientific Reports” and is now expected to be helpful in industries and academics.
