Morphotex –  Donna Sgro

Morphotex is the world’s first structurally coloured fibre, developed by Teijin Japan.  It’s a fabric imitates the microscopic structure of the wing using nanotechnology. Colour in the textile appears coloured but does not use any dyes. This innovation also saves on water and energy used in conventional dyeing. This inspired another technological breakthrough – displays for mobile phones and other electronic devices that can be viewed under any light conditions.
