How can biology help enhance sustainable textile design?

London-based professor, Dr Veronika Kapsali, delivered CSaP’s final Future Leaders Fellows seminar of the year to discuss how biology can show us how to design materials for resource efficiency, longevity, and recovery (RELR). As a researcher in the emerging field of biomimetic textiles, and Professor of Materials Technology at the London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London (UAL), Dr Kapsali presented her work on an AHRC-funded initiative she leads - Bio-Inspired Textiles (BIT) - that aims to identify the potential for nature-inspired design in textile development.
