New Tech Suit Material?

I found this today when I was playing around on facebook. These super hydrophobic carbon tubes basically repel water better than anything I've ever seen: www.popsci.com/.../video-water-meets-superhydrophobic-nanotube-array-slow-motion

  • google around a bit about carbon fiber textile and synthetic textile....hard not to say carbon fiber is a textile (eg, en.wikipedia.org/.../Textile) polyester/dacron, nylon, spandex/lycra etc (man made chemicals) are textiles also, note the advertising of today's legal suits...lots of chemistry at work the plane you see to the left....I built from various textiles....eg, fiberglass and carbon fiber. The carbon fiber textile came in a soft weaved fabric. Hrmm... I wonder how well it would work as a suit... it wouldn't absorb ANY water and you'd literally slip right through the water...
