S2: Yes, indeed. It’s a self-cleaning shirt, which works as you wear it. We made one that would work as soon as you put it on. It uses the heat from your body to attract water vapor from the air. S2: Isn’t that a little uncomfortable? S2: No. We thought about that. We gave the material a special coating to keep water away from the skin and to store it in the fibres. When they are full of water the shirt begins to clean itself. S1: How does it do that? Is there soap powder in the fibres too? S2: Not really, but we thought the fibres could do that job if they had a special anti-pollutant in them. It mixes with the water and removes the dirt from the shirt. The dirt is then carried into the air as the water turns back into vapor. S1: How will you know if the shirt is doing its job? S2: If the shirt is working well it will appear white. When the shirt is blue, it’ll mean the shirt is too old and isn’t working properly. It’ll also mean it’s time to throw it away. We think all our shirts should be able to deal with any level of water vapor in the atmosphere. S1: Well, that seems clear.Will it come in other colours as well as white? S2: We hope so. I’m working on shirts that will do the same job but are green, brown and golden. We hope to be able to bring them all onto the market next year. Students work in pairs to discuss: 1.
