Habillez-vous en vin

Imagination émerge partout, et parfois, dans un sens plus littéral que prévu, comme indiqué par le savant Gary Cass de l'Université d'Australie occidentale, dont le dernier projet a été d'utiliser Acetobacter pour créer une substance semblable à du coton à partir de la fermentation d'un matériau liquide: vin rouge.

Cass tells us that "to create the fabric, a bacterium called" Acetobacter "is added to the vats of wine to make vinegar gradually. This layer is then harvested and dried in an inflatable dummy desired shape of the garment. When the dummy is deflated clothing continues its original form, and yet, when dried, all the fibers they become like tissue paper, so it is good to keep in constant moisture when worn. "

As you can see the modus operandi is quite simple, and the end result is a dress with authentic Burgundy, with a strange texture and a strong smell of wine. It now remains to see if comfort is one of his qualities.

The team now hopes to partner with other experts to find a way to strengthen the material, which they have named 'Micro Ser'.
