Coral-inspired passive radiative cooling textiles toward extreme environments

Key Points

• Enhanced passive radiative cooling can reduce heat absorption, improving comfort in textiles for extreme environments.
• Temperature reductions of up to 10 degrees Celsius were observed under direct sunlight conditions, potentially benefiting users.
• The analysis employed a comparative approach assessing various coral-inspired textile designs and their cooling effects.
• Findings support the potential of bioinspired textiles to provide crucial thermal management strategies in harsh climates.
