An Alaskan, Quoc Truong, made new textile for American soldiers to wear so they don't have to wash (not sure if they were doing that anyway). The fabric is similar to a lotus leave and serves the same purpose. It is superhydrobobic and gives the surface of the clothing a lower surface energy to give a high contact angle when an aqueous substance is applied is high and rolls off preventing dirt from accumulating.
Self-Cleaning Clothing: Wear Without Wear
Having this kind of material would have helped Bruno not to wash his fashionable army uniform with the Dolce & Gabbana belt (which will ruin the fabric, it needs to be dry cleaned, 'Hello'). You can see it in this scene.
The fabric Truong helped create has a special durable, super-repellent coating with "dual micro- and nano-size architecture." When this special coating is applied onto clothing, it will give the surface of the clothing a low critical surface energy, or surface tension. When this surface tension is lower than that of the surface tensions of harmful, toxic liquid chemicals, the toxic chemicals would roll off the fabric on contact. Additionally, fabrics that are coated with this special super-repellent coating showed minimal to no attraction to dust and dirt. - See more at: http://alaska-native-news.com/general-news/7897-self-cleaning-clothing-wear-without-wear.html#sthash.yMRRndKh.dpuf
