Science Artical on Spray on Clothing

Spray on clothing
By Alex Watts

Manel Torres has had a major breakthrough in the clothing industry when he designed and made spray on clothing! This is basically spray paint mixed with short fibers and polymers and some solvent to help turn the fibers into liquid. As you spray it on, the fibers dry and when fully dry, it can peel off and be washed! Also, the more layers you spray on, the warmer you are so it can be used in any weather. The designer also stated that it could be used for innovative uses such as spray on bandages that won’t irritate the wound. However, this product won’t go to the market because of two problems: one, it has the horrible smell of solvent. Two, it isn’t very comfortable. Researchers say that they will solve these problems in no time, and tomorrow you might be spraying on your own clothes!

Notes:
Spray on clothing
• Spray paint with short fibers and polymers mixed with solvent
• Fibers dries and when fully dry it can peel off and be washed
• Versatile and made with any fabric and many colors
• Is thicker when you spray on more layers and can be used during any season
• Many innovative uses including bandages that spray on
• Will not go to the market yet because of the smell of solvent and not very comfortable
• Researchers promise that they will figure out how to solve these problems
