Revolutionary Waterproofing Technology: Protecting Clothes and Equipment

The video discusses the limitations of existing waterproofing methods and introduces a new technique developed by PhD student Stephen Coulson. His method uses an ultra-thin polymer applied through a plasma processing machine, making materials like fabrics and electronics waterproof without altering their properties. Initially used by the military, this technology is expected to be available commercially, potentially revolutionizing waterproofing in various industries.
