Spring is only one week away, which means warmer temperatures and more rain. Did you know that water-resistant textile coatings amount to 50% of the total global use of PFAS? These "forever chemicals" pose risks to human reproductive and immune health. To help, Wyss researchers have developed Nixe, a PFAS-free nanostructured silica-based coating for use on and within textile substrates. https://lnkd.in/em7EPFcq
