DEEP SUBMERGENCE DIVING SUIT AND INSULATIVE MATERIAL THEREFOR

摘要

Deep submergence diving suit which maintains its low thermal conductivity at great depths and provides constant buoyancy at changing depths, having a layer of thixotropic material such as a grease or very low modulus elastomeric material filled with hollow glass microbubbles as an insulating layer, the preferred construction being based on a gel of block copolymer and mineral oil as the low modulus matrix.
