CTOnews.com August 24 news, the toilet is an important invention of human civilization, since ancient times, its design and function have made great progress. From ancient ceramic pit toilets to public flushing toilets in Greece and Rome to modern intelligent toilets, toilets not only facilitate people's lives, but also reflect people's concern for hygiene and environmental protection.

According to NewScientist, researchers such as Li Yike of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China recently published an innovation in the journal Advanced Engineering Materials: they used 3D printing technology to print a toilet model of an ordinary toilet with a size of 1pm, which can effectively prevent stickiness and odor and save water consumption. They call the toilet ARSSFT (wear-resistant super-slippery flush toilet).

Their method is to use a 3D printing process to mix plastic and hydrophobic sand and inject silicone-based oil. This creates a highly lubricating material that makes it impossible for any substance to attach to the surface. They used a variety of liquids and solids to simulate human excreta and carried out flushing experiments. The results showed that mud, porridge, milk, honey, starch gel or artificial feces could be washed away completely without any residue. Even if the surface is scratched with sandpaper and blade, its super-slip performance will not be affected.

The researchers say their motivation is not only to improve the cleanliness of toilets, but also to solve the problem of waste of water on the planet. "the world uses more than 141 billion litres of water a day for toilet flushing alone, which is equivalent to six times the total water consumption of the African population," they pointed out. " They believe that ARSSFT technology can "significantly reduce water consumption while ensuring hygiene and comfort."

If it can be successfully popularized and applied, this invention will bring human beings a more environmentally friendly and healthy toilet experience.
