Spray-on clothing
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (November 2016) |
Spray-on clothing is a form of clothing, that is applied by spraying polymer over the body in such a manner that it appears as clothing. It is a polymer mix that dries relatively quickly.[1]
On September 15, 2010, Ian Sample, The Guardian's Science correspondent reported on a press conference where Dr Manuel Torres showed a spray-on clothing product named Fabrican.[2] Covering the same announcement Prita Ganapati, writing for Wired magazine referred to the result as "spray-on fabric".[3] The Guardian referred to both "spray-on bandages" and "spray-on fabric". Scientific American referred to both "spray-on clothing" and "spray-on clothes".[1] Torres described the fabric as similar to felt.

Someday, packing for a trip might be as simple as stowing a spray can of colloidal polymer mix for making your own spray-on clothes. Whether it's a T-shirt or evening attire, spray-on fabric is a novel way to make a variety of light-use fabrics.

For example, the spray-on fabric may be produced and kept in a sterilised can, which could be perfect for providing spray-on bandages without applying any pressure for soothing burnt skin, or delivering medicines directly to a wound.

Clothes designed using the spray-on fabric will be shown at the Science in Style fashion show next week at Imperial College.
