Can composite materials be engineered to repel mosquitoes in outdoor seating designs?

Composite materials are revolutionizing outdoor seating designs by incorporating innovative mosquito-repellent properties. These engineered materials can be infused with natural or synthetic repellents, creating a durable and pest-free solution for patios, gardens, and public spaces. By leveraging advanced manufacturing techniques, composites can release repellent compounds over time, ensuring long-lasting protection. This approach not only enhances comfort but also reduces reliance on chemical sprays. With sustainability in mind, researchers are exploring eco-friendly composites that repel mosquitoes without harming the environment. The future of outdoor seating may well lie in these smart, multifunctional materials.
