Fabrican - Spray-on Clothing Announced; To Be Sold Next Year

submitted by Kevlar

1 decade 4 years 2 months 1 week ago

Via Telegraph.co.uk:

Scientists at Imperial College London have developed a liquid clothing spray that hardens on the body and turns into a reusable garment.

Dr Manel Torres and Professor Paul Luckham have developed a spray that contains small fibres which are mixed with polymers to join them together and a solvent that keeps the fabric in liquid form in the can.

The solvent evaporates instantly as the spray touches a surface, creating a smooth clothing material that can be washed and re-worn.

The spray may in the future be used to create garments, medical dressings or upholstery for furniture.

~$20 to turn a cute girl into a big, hairy mess? Where do I sign up?

huh... how the fuck do you take that piece of clothing off, as they were saying, without destroying it?

Good one man... 10 years working on something no one asked for, that isn't practical at all, and the vast majority of people don't have the physique to wear clothing literally glued to their body.

Moving this video to Kevlar's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
