Innovative foam materials for designing eco-friendly wetsuits

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study innovative developments in the field of diving suits with high thermal conductivity. During the analytical method, not only neoprene wetsuits were studied, but also the latest developments in the field of eco-suits. This foam is made from limestone, which is a naturally occurring material, which allows these wetsuits to reduce their environmental impact. Studies and assessment of water conditions were carried out, the water temperature parameters of salt and fresh water reservoirs for diving were studied. Methods for determining the thermal conductivity of foamed material are systematized, studies of the microstructure of neoprene are carried out, and the dependence of the thermal conductivity of modern materials such as "neoprene" is established. The results of studies carried out in specialized laboratory conditions to change the properties of the foam material such as "neoprene". The presented results can be used for further development of a diving suit for operation in technical conditions. The analysis of scientific data showed that among the existing developments and products of heat-shielding products, there is a limitation in the use of materials and raw materials in the formation of components of heat-shielding packages. Based on the study of scientific and technical literature, carried out in the direction of the formation and provision of protective indicators of multilayer packages, it can be concluded that the mechanism for the formation of packages of multilayer products, scientifically based selection of structures and components of multilayer packages, as well as providing increased wear resistance and strength properties of a diving suit is an under-researched problem.
