According to the U.N, extreme heat has killed approximately 489000 people each year since 2000. 18970 deaths attributed to workers exposed to dangerous temperatures. Combating heat, especially within regions in the equator (Approx 279 million people live between the 26th and 26th parallel north), is vital for the safety of people including but not limited to people working outdoors and people strolling outside.

Various methods of combating heat have been invented with various strengths and weaknesses, such as fans and air conditioning. Mobile methods of staying cool have been invented for work purposes, such as ice packet jackets and phase change cooling vests. Alternate methods, such as cotton coated with nanodiamonds and silver infused fabric, have been invented though with minimal use in everyday life.

The ideal thermal dissipation fabric should keep you cool with as little maintenance and weight as possible. Independent analysis of various materials with high thermal conductivity, including their densities and costs, has resulted in several materials being selected for having the highest thermal conductivity compared to their densities and costs. Aluminum Nitride, Aluminum, and Copper. Alternate materials, such as cubic boron nitride, and tantalum nitride were taken into consideration, but their high approximate costs removed them from further observation.
