The British Designer Has Developed An Environmentally Friendly &Nbsp, Which Comes From Cement, Coffee And Tea.

40 "cement" skirts purify two square meters in 1 minutes, and a cup of coffee grounds make two coffee gauze. T-shirt 。

What fabric? clothes The most comfortable and decent? Afraid Lian fashion The answer given by Da is also difficult to contain the following three materials: cement, coffee and tea.

"Cement" skirt acts as air purifier.

Recently, fashion designers from the University of Sheffield, the London Fashion Institute and the University of oester in England jointly developed the world's first garment with air purification function - "she", which is a "transparent" cement with a ductility.

"Transparent" cement can absorb pollutants from the surrounding air, and has been applied to buildings that protect air quality in Europe. However, it is an unprecedented practice as a garment material. Some experts point out that the "transparent" cement is actually the sprayed concrete, which is a mixture of cement and gravel.

According to the designer, "she" contains titanium dioxide, which can react with pollutants in the air under the action of sunlight and remove organic compounds such as nitrogen oxides. Tony Ryan, a professor at University of Sheffield, said that "she" could reduce the content of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide in the surrounding area by 65%. Helen Story, designer of the London Fashion Institute, said, "wearing this kind of clothes can clean the air on the road and give the people around them cleaner air."

At present, "she" is only a "highly experimental" conceptual model. Designers say they will design clothes that can be worn as early as possible, and say optimistically that it takes only 1 minutes for 40 people to wear these clothes to purify the air of two square meters.

"She" looks fashionable, enough to wear the red carpet to attend the dress ceremony, but this skirt still has many problems to be solved. For example, cement is after all cement, and how it is "flexible". Compared with ordinary clothes, comfort will be greatly reduced. And after the air is cleaned, is the clothes dirty? Over time, personal image and health will be greatly damaged.

Coffee yarn with sunscreen and odor.

Compared with "she"'s "cement" material, Taiwan textile company Singtex has studied many coffee yarn fabrics. The fabric called S.Cafe is made from recycled coffee grounds. It is a fabric that is made from special coffee bean dregs. The coffee residue is carbonized at 160 to 180 degrees, and is processed into yarn after drawing.

Clothes made from coffee grounds can not only dry quickly but also protect against ultraviolet radiation. Moreover, the ability to absorb odors is super, and the holes on its surface can absorb gas molecules. During the summer season, wearing a coffee gauze, not only sunscreen and sweat, but also remove sweat and stink.

But does the coffee residue needed to make a dress cost a lot of coffee beans? Such worries are superfluous. Because the coffee residue left by making a cup of coffee is enough to make two t-shirt size clothes.

The more the tea shirt goes through, the stronger it is.

The scientists of the Imperial College of London, in collaboration with the British central Saint Martin School of art and design, developed a fabric that is both leather and fabric with light weight. This fabric has been used to make shirts, jackets, women's wear and shoes. The British call it tea shirts because they are made of tea.

The tea shirt is very practical. After dyeing, melting and so on, it becomes a new garment. The inventors are confident that this innovative fabric will lead the future direction of the textile industry, and the traditional raw materials such as cotton, wool and leather will be restricted by use.

Tea shirts are made from waste green tea, sugar and other nutrients. The mixed solution stimulates the growth of Acetobacter spp. and produces cellulose filaments. Under the action of cellulose, the tea shirt gets stronger and stronger.

After washing and drying, the tea shirts will become transparent. Professor Paul Freeman, a molecular biologist at Imperial College in London, said, "this kind of clothing is tough and tough if it is dried."

But wearing a tea shirt on the street, the strong smell may attract the passers-by to look at it. After all, fungi are constantly growing, and it will take a while to overcome this problem. However, with the depletion of natural resources, the market prospect of such biologic fabrics is very considerable.
