Clothes Can Also Be "Transformers".

If the costume design is combined with technology, what kind of amazing effect will happen?

In a fashion show called "deformable clothes", there is such a flyover landscape: the fabric or shrinkage or elongation of a model's body slowly changes from one design to another.

This scene "Metamorphosis" has made everyone watching the show breathless.

In the age of Transformers's comeback, everything seems to be needed.

Hussein Chalayan's "pformation clothing" uses shape memory fiber.

The raw material of shape memory fiber contains cereal starch. The fabric has comfortable handle, soft and glossy fabric, and can match silk.

Moreover, because of its pure biomass, it has excellent performance in absorbing and sweating and anti ultraviolet function, antibacterial, mildew resistance and skin care.

This material can also be completely biodegradable. It is a perfect environment-friendly and green fiber.

However, the most distinctive feature is its memory function.

By increasing the friction force on the surface of the fiber, the shape that has been processed will remain as if it had a "memory" function.

Image point, if you rub the fabric with your hands, it will leave wrinkles, but the wrinkles will disappear after restoration.

Therefore, the memory fiber can always "remember" the initial shape given by the designer.

Finalized fibers

At present, the exploration of this shape memory fiber has entered the use of products.

A protective clothing Research Institute in Britain has developed a kind of clothing for preventing burns by using memory fibers.

First, the memory fiber is processed into a pagoda spiral spring, and then further processed into a plane shape, fixed in the clothing fabric.

When the garment surface is exposed to high temperature, the deformation of shape memory fiber is triggered. It changes rapidly from a flat shape to a pagoda, forming a large cavity in the two layer fabric, leaving the high temperature far away from the skin of the human body, thereby preventing scalding.

A textile company in Italy has developed intelligent shirts, which also have magical effects on shape memory fibers.

This shirt is not afraid of wrinkles, even if it is kneaded into a mess, it can be restored by blowing with a hair dryer, and even people's body temperature can be ironed automatically.
