A new generation of fabrics being developed by scientists promises to give us self-cleaning and dirt-repelling clothes which will reduce the time we spend on the weekly washing. Martha talks to Ottilia Saxl, chief executive and founder of the Institute of Nanotechnology and to Anne Smith, Dean of the School of Fashion and Textiles at Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design about how this technology will make our lives easier. They will explain some groundbreaking innovations, such as aroma-therapeutic sweaters and jackets that can talk to one another, that will not only change the way we look, but also the way we live. |
