The yeast medium is placed in a petri dish and cultivated to form a curd-like substance, which will form a new clothing material.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;border: 0px;font-size: 14px;font-family: simsun;line-height: 30px\">\n In a laboratory at the Queensland State Library, Queensland University of Technology students experimented with coffee, tea, red wine and syrup.  Dean Brough, a lecturer in his own fashion studio, said that the production process is both fashionable and forward-looking.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;border: 0px;font-size: 14px;font-family: simsun;line-height: 30px\">\n He said: &#8220;This process is scary and a little disgusting. The yeast medium is wet and sticky, and the smell can be very pungent, but when this material is made into clothes, it will be very exciting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;border: 0px;font-size: 14px;font-family: simsun;line-height: 30px\">\n Whether it is tea, coffee, red wine or syrup, it can be used as the &#8220;food&#8221; of the yeast culture medium, and the materials obtained after each different &#8220;food&#8221; have different characteristics.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;border: 0px;font-size: 14px;font-family: simsun;line-height: 30px\">\n Braff said that the texture of the clothing material formed through the fermentation process is close to the skin. After a week of drying process, the water is evaporated and the material itself becomes thinner.  Despite this, the material remained intact after the students ransacked it in a washing machine, proving that the material is a very strong fiber product.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;border: 0px;font-size: 14px;font-family: simsun;line-height: 30px\">\n Alice Payne, a lecturer at Queensland University of Technology in Australia, said students experimented with new materials, such as color-spraying yeast media or dyeing culture media.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;border: 0px;font-size: 14px;font-family: simsun;line-height: 30px\">\n Braff said that the smell emitted during this process is very similar to the smell of beer fermentation. Although the taste is not good, the final result is like a drink after drinking, and the finished product has no peculiar smell.  Brough said that the traditional clothing industry wastes 20% to 39% of fibers in the process of making clothing from fiber materials.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;border: 0px;font-size: 14px;font-family: simsun;line-height: 30px\">\n A student at Australia&#8217;s Queensland University of Technology&#8217;s Lost Master Technology said she was very fascinated by the job of working with such a living clothing material.  The school will have clothing made from the material on display at The Edge until the end of October.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;border: 0px;font-size: 14px;font-family: simsun;line-height: 30px\">\n<p>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yingjietex.com\/product\/Polyester-Three-Color-Scalariform-Lateral-Cut-OXFORD-Fabric.html\">https:\/\/www.yingjietex  .com\/product\/Polyester-Three-Color-Scalariform-Lateral-Cut-OXFORD-Fabric.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tpu-ptfe.com\/post%20%20\/7.html\">https:\/\/www.tpu-ptfe.com\/post\/7.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tpu-ptfe.com\/%20%20post\/7720.html\">https:\/\/www.tpu-ptfe.com\/post\/7720.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yingjietex.com\/product%20%20\/Satin-Jacquard-with-rose-flower-Fabric.html\">https:\/\/www.yingjietex.com\/product\/Satin-Jacquard-with-rose-flower-Fabric.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading  \uff1a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-68-740.html\">https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-68-740.htm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fashion students at Australia&#8217;s Queensland University of Technology (QUT) are using a brand new approach to making clothing materials, a sustainable material, and recently pr&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[46],"class_list":["post-8739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-textile-fabric-news","tag-db"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8739"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8739\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
