The Fabric Of The Textile Industry Can Grow On The Clothing Fabric.

Textile visor: Design of growing fabrics

Susan Lee is checking a piece of coloring material in her London studio.

Future fashions may be driven by innovative materials, such as how to create a bionic design pattern, how to find environmentally friendly alternatives from natural materials, and how to directly form biodegradable products from biological organisms.

The 28 year old Wu Yanling (Elaine Yan Ling Ng) likes to call herself "textile visor", though she looks different from other young Chinese girls growing up in London.

She wore a light black dot print blouse and bright orange tights, with a strong accent in English.

The only thing that matters is that she hangs a pink wood chip earring on her left ear, and the style and material seem strange.

The series changes color, shape and curl degree with different temperature, humidity and light.

Meeting Wu Yanling is at the CBC Talk lecture hall of the CBC building art museum in Beijing, where the wooden pillar and truss support the roof of Tong Lin Ge Road, the Chinese Holy Communion savior hall.

Before starting a lecture on future materials science, she first displayed a little "magic trick": if you use flash to take pictures of the Pink Earrings, the earrings become white and shiny silver on the screen, and the decryption is a special coating on it.

Her other magic works also include "dancing bark" jewelry series, which look just like some overlapping wavy wood chips, which are formed by laser cutting.

However, with the difference of temperature, humidity and light, they begin to "dance", changing their color, shape and degree of curl.

"Technological Natural Science" is the process of pforming invisible data into visual representation.

Wu Yanling graduated from the Saint Martin School of art and design in London. He first received professional training in fabric design at the college, and gradually turned his interest.

Material research.

About 5 years ago, she began to form the design theory of "Techno-Naturology", combining natural and technology, using artificial technology to activate and stimulate natural responses, so that people can understand the wisdom of nature.

For example, to study a pine cone, how to change the shape of the shell and produce it naturally under the influence of humidity changes.

This study is also the process of pforming invisible data into visual representation. Natural materials are very sensitive, even for small stimuli, and the amplitude of motion is difficult to perceive by the naked eye.

Accordingly, Wu Yanling designed a series of "future fiber buckle" works, which integrated the natural wood fiber and microstructural shape memory polymer, mimicking the reaction behavior of pine cone with temperature and humidity.

The induction system controlled by the programmable controller and sensor completes the opening and closing of the cones and accurately controls the scale of movement.

"Future fiber buckle" embodies the combination of natural materials and AI materials. Polymers and alloys can remember the shape of environmental changes. The built in modular system responds to different light, temperature and humidity changes.

Perhaps this structure in the future will help push ahead.

The boundary of development.

Wu Yanling's "future fiber buckle" combines natural materials and AI materials.

In the natural science of science, the structural changes involved in "nature" involve not only the imitation of natural behavior, but also how to stimulate their own changes in the urban environment.

There are many possibilities, for example, the automatic pmission of outdoor data to an indoor device, allowing people to feel the outdoor temperature, humidity and light in the room.

Wu Yanling once made a conceptual architectural design of SAD house, SAD refers to the house affected by the season.

Shape memory polymer fabric and solid wood veneer roofs, shapes vary with the seasons.

As the seasons change, the shape of the house is different.

"Fundamentally, natural technology is a discipline on how nature works with technology, and how technology stimulates natural behavior. The aim is to design a bionics method for future design."

"I try to preserve and restore the sensitivity of human nature through natural wisdom," she said.

I think our life and behavior are not created by technology, but by nature.

If Wu Yanling's "Technology Natural Science" is learning from nature and emphasizes the importance of adapting to environmental change products, there are more material research trends directly from today.

Looking for environmentally friendly alternatives.

For example, Puma and Camper brands are experimenting with Pinetex, a pineapple leaf fiber found in Philippines, instead of traditional leather to make bags, shoes and caps.

Pinetex is extracted from Pineapple leaves at a cost of about $28 per metre, compared to the cost of leather at least $46 per metre.

In 2013, the global leather market value of 38 billion 500 million US dollars, estimated that by 2020, it will reach US $49 billion.

On the other hand, the cost of leather production is also rising sharply. In 2013, it increased by 30% over the previous year.

Toxic chemicals are used in tanning.

Over the past few years, python skins have been widely used. Many brands of raw materials come from illegal factories in Indonesia, and live boa constrictor is cut off, because the snake skin of live boa constrictor is fully expanding and expanding.

Heidi& Adele eco leather products made from fish skin

Based on this fashion scandal, Goldman Sachs former director Heidi Carlo and entrepreneur Adair Taylor founded Heidi Adele, a newly rising company, trying to give up.

Turn the by-products of salmon skin, eel skin and other food industries into fashion accessories.

They worked with a Salmon Company in Iceland and an eel processing plant in Korea to produce a new type of eco leather.

In fact, fish skin is as tough as the rest of the market and is easy to stain.

Heidi & Adele has introduced a series of colourful bag products with beautiful figure similar to animal leather, but the user has no guilt.

They sold products directly through online stores, and received an order worth 2276 in Crowdshed's crowd raising activities, exceeding the expected amount of 20%.

From plant materials to biomaterials, Modern Meadow, an American Biological leather company, works with Suzanne Lee, a senior researcher at the Saint Martin Institute, to extract living cells from animals and allow them to grow naturally into a piece of material. Meadow

A pair of biological shoes (Bioshoe) takes about 4 weeks to grow, and it can control its texture, color, shape and so on before the material grows.

Susan Lee is also a TED researcher, and her innovative materials research sounds almost.
