[Taste]Regain Feminine Strength with the Nightshirt

For many years, the nightshirt has remained a traditionally male-dominated clothing item. Worn during the night, men enjoyed the immense comfort and practicality of the clothing item. After many years as a male-worn style, women are beginning to take control. In their new Fall Fashion line of silk clothing, Narasilk has introduced a nightshirt that allows women to exhibit their inner strength and femininity.

From movies to television shows, women are always stealing their husband’s garments. Most men’s garments are designed to be comfortable while women’s clothing styles are made to be fashionable. Instead of having to steal their lover’s attire, women can now have the best of both worlds. The short-sleeved silk nightshirt made by Narasilk is made to be exceptionally simple and comfortable while still retaining an edge of femininity. It is design with buttons that fasten in the front and a breast pocket.

Since the nightshirt is made with 100 percent silk from spring silkworms, special care has to be taken to ensure that this nightshirt can last a lifetime. Ladies should keep their nightshirt away from bright sunlight or excessive humidity. Normally, storing the nightshirt in a dark closet or dresser drawer will work best. This elegant nightwear should always be hand washed or dry cleaned to preserve its soft sheen. If ladies choose to hand wash it, they should use only lukewarm water and a gentle detergent.

Once it has been washed, wearers can roll it in a towel to remove excess moisture. It should be laid out in a flat area that is away from any direct sunlight. If the nightshirt must be ironed, it should be flipped inside out and the iron should be set to the lowest possible temperature.

Designed to be different, the Fall Fashion line of silk nightshirts at Nara are made with 19 momme silk. Rated export grade A, this silk is sewn by hand by experienced Chinese tailors. For fashionable and comfortable nightwear, nothing suits the female figure better than a silk nightshirt.

[Comfort]Making Medical Implants out of Silk

Making Medical Implants out of Silk       

     

At the University of Illinois, a new kind of electronics is becoming en vogue. Scientist at the university have been working on a silk-based electronic that can dissolve. This state-of-the-art technology is designed to reduce the number of electronic parts in landfills. Medically, it has a number of uses in modern medicine. As an implant, these electronics would be able to dissolve in the body’s fluids without leaving a trace that they were ever there.

Creating Silk Technology

The sophisticated devices are being made by a team at the University of Illinois in conjunction with researchers from Northwestern University and Tufts University. With their unique design, the silk gadgets are turning the way we view electronics around. In the beginning, electronics were made to last forever. Now, researchers are realizing the benefits of sturdy gadgets that can disappear.

Some of these gadgets have already been created. One of the newest lines of electronics is a 64-pixel camera. This unique camera is designed to be implanted into post-surgery patients. It monitors infections and dissolves in a controlled manner. Once the doctor deems the implant no longer necessary, it can dissolve within five seconds. Although the implant has not been tested on humans yet, it was successfully used with lab mice.

Making the Electronics

To create the electronics, researchers have to go through an exceptionally painstaking development process. Each gadget is made out of ultrathin sheets of silicon. These sheets must be made thin enough so that they can dissolve within days once they touch the body. At the same time, the camera must be outfitted with soluble conductors and dialectics. These electronic parts can create transmitters, sensors and other camera components.

For the dissolving process to be controlled, the camera is wrapped in silk. The silk is structured in such a way that it can determine how fast the electronic gadget dissolves. Scientists can select different varieties of silk so that their electronic equipment dissolves over a period of a few minutes to a few years.

Although this technology is not available to the consumer market yet, the possibilities are endless. With the help of silk, scientists can create a new breed of medical implants that are made to work with the body. These gadgets can help to gauge a patient’s recovery process and determine if there is an infection within an incision.
