From a shipwreck to a knit dress
The demo is organised by the Biopolymer Chemistry and Engineeringng research group from the School of Chemical Engineering
Come discover how a 17th-century shipwreck turned into a viral knit dress and see how archaeology, chemical engineering, and textile design come together.
You’ll also get to analyse textile fibers under a microscope.
