Temperature-responsive insulating fabric that automatically changes thickness to regulate warmth without wires or sensors.
Skyscrape develops insulating fabrics that expand in cold temperatures and contract when warm, providing automatic thermal regulation by changing the physical structure of yarns in response to temperature. The fabric requires no electronics, wires, or sensors, and is intended for use inside jackets and outerwear to extend thermal comfort across a wider temperature range than conventional insulation. Developed with funding from the US Department of Energy and Y Combinator, Skyscrape partners with apparel brands to bring the technology to market. Skyscrape is a product of Skyscrape.
