London College of Fashion with professor Helen Storey told the fashion house 'We're taking the technology but giving it a completely new use because our clothing has a bigger surface area. 'As you walk down the street you are purifying the air and passing cleaner air on to the person behind you by the movement of your own walking air filter?'
Innovative as the product begins working once the garment is dry, and removes nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds emitted by factories and car motors into the atmosphere Eco-friendly fashion is all the rage these days, but now new technology has taken the concept to a new level. As a group of scientists have created a product that enables fabric to remove pollutants in the air around it.
This Catalytic Clothing project, which is in collaboration between the University of Sheffield and the London College of Fashion, developed a purifying element containing titanium dioxide, which can be applied to clothing when used as part of silk feeling fabric conditioners.
As eco-friendly has become the theme in London College of Fashion and the University of Sheffield have developed a product that enables a garment to remove pollutants from the air around it, when used part of this fabric conditioner. This product begins working once the garment is dry, and removes the nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds emitted by car motors into the atmosphere leads pollens. Its creators explained that the concept already exists in paint, cement and paving stones, and they have just harnessed the same technology.
Fashion future of catalytic type clothing has just begun as this project team aim to bring together the worlds of art and science into the world purification. This research is partnered by, Professor Tony Ryan at the University of Sheffield, added that the technology was 'user-friendly and technically excellent.
' The team added that while there were no plans to produce their product commercially, they were to invest another two years in researching the innovative idea. The pollution-reducing fabric is not the first time the two universities have worked together. A previous Catalytic Clothing project saw them develop garments that dissolve in water.
