Provide warmth in harsh climates.
2. Keep water from freezing on surfaces that't don't need to be frozen. 
3. Improve insulation in buildings and wires.  
4. Improve coating on airplane wings or car windows to make them ice resistant. ]]> 2016-09-19 16:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124803920 molly_lamb715 https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124917931 Each feather is covered in nanoscale ridges and interlocking hooks or barbs which causes them to repel ice rather than letting ice form on the feathers.

Some places have very harsh climates that have high winds and frigid temperatures. People have to do their jobs in these harsh climates and they need a way to make sure they stay warm and their skin does not become icy. There are also professions like the coast guard that require people to get into water that is freezing. These people need a jacket or coat that will help them stay warm and not freeze. ]]> 2016-09-19 22:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124919931 Sustainability molly_lamb715 https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124921485 Recycled Polyester:
This process transforms trash into fleece. It uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people’s health.

Using recycled polyester lessens the dependence on petroleum as the source for raw materials. It also helps reduce toxic emissions and causes less air, water, and soil contamination compared to using non recycled polyester. 

This will also make the jacket re-usable for future uses. ]]> 2016-09-19 23:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124921485 molly_lamb715 https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124945307 2016-09-20 02:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124945307 molly_lamb715 https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124952615 2016-09-20 04:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124952615 molly_lamb715 https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124952835 2016-09-20 04:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124952835 molly_lamb715 https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124952979 2016-09-20 04:09:07 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124952979 molly_lamb715 https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124953126 2016-09-20 04:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_lamb715/3iuig9yx28fg/wish/124953126
