Spray-On fabric that enable designer to spray liquid material directly onto the body using Aerosol Technology

Imperial Researchers have created a spray-on Fabric that enables designers to spray liquid material directly onto the body with the help of Aerosol Technology. The fabric dries instantly, to make innovative clothes that can be washed and re-worn. Spanish fashion designer Dr Manel Torres created the material as part of his PhD in the Department of Chemical Engineering, working with Professor Paul Luckham.

He showcased his collection of spray-on haute couture with a fashion show at the college. Dr Torres has now set up a spin-out company commercializing the innovative research work.
