Tokyo (Jan. 24, 2023) – At nano tech 2024 (Jan. 31-Feb.2) in Tokyo, AI SILK, a Japanese smart textiles innovation leader, will exhibit conductive smart textile LEAD SKIN® AIR by collaboration with NEDO, New Energy Industrial Technology Development Organization. Dubbed as dry-type conductive material, LEAD SKIN® AIR does not require gel or water for superior skin contact. It boasts of excellent durability and resistance to corrosion caused by sweat or washing, making it ideal for sports and fitness apparel. Because it uses metal-free conductive polymer textile coating technology, it offers silky smoothness while being safe for sensitive skin – providing unparalleled comfort versus other smart textiles.
