Scientists create self-mending clothing
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have found a way to not only help parents everywhere, but also protect individuals who work with chemicals or other harmful substances. Imagine never having to patch or replace your jeans after an unfortunate tear. New research by scientists at Pennsylvania State University could make it so that you need never pull out the sewing needle again.
The process is surprisingly simple - by dipping clothing in a series of special liquid substances, researchers can create clothing that simply knits back together after a tear.
"For the first time we are making self-healing textiles," said Pennsylvania State’s Melik C. Demirel in a Penn News release.
