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, and it becomes simple after dyeing and melting.

"New" clothes

。

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.

Mixed solution

It 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 pparent.

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 to the street, a strong smell may attract passers by.

After all fungi

It will take a long time to overcome this problem.

However, with the depletion of natural resources, the market prospect of such biologic fabrics is very considerable.
