Some gals insist on wearing a dress only once, and never again. The dissolving polymer dress, made of polyvinyl alcohol, melts at a rate that’ll “survive a sweaty party”, and then drips away. It is covered with flowers which darken with dye as they melt. A similar principle is behind the dissolving water bottle, which melts in hot water into a goo that is nutritious for plant seeds. These projects are created by fashion guru Professor Helen Storey and Professor Tony Ryan, chemist. [GT]
