受海狸、水獭等哺乳动物的启发,美国麻省理工学院(MIT)的研究人员计划开发一种类似于这些动物毛皮的合成材料,未来或将制作出更轻、更保暖的潜水服。据悉,海狸、水獭等哺乳动物虽然没有像海象和鲸鱼一样的厚脂肪层,但其毛皮中可以留存大量空气,从而形成隔热层,因此能够长时间生活在冰冷的海水中。潜水员需要长时间在水下作业,对潜水 Inspired by mammals such as beavers and otters, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) plan to develop a synthetic material that resembles the fur of these animals in the future or to create lighter and warmer wetsuits. It is reported that beavers, otters and other mammals, although not like walrus and whale-like thick fat layer, but the fur can retain a lot of air, thus forming a thermal insulation, it can live in cold sea water for a long time. Divers need a long time to work underwater, diving
