"Oricalco" shirt with Nitinol fabric

The 'Thermal Shape Memory Alloy is characterized by its extraordinary ability to recover any shape, pre-programmed, upon heating. Until today this light weight alloy with about 50% Titanium inside has been used in advanced sectors like space and recently in medical applications. 
Through the Technology Transfer Programme of the ESA, Grado Zero Espace has transferred this knowledge in traditional sectors. 
In this framework, Grado Zero Espace has used Thermal Shape Memory metals as a fabric for the manufacturing of a shirt on with long sleeves which was made in this fabric. Later, the name "Oricalco" was used to specify the fabric Oricalco used to sew up it.
The sleeves fabric could be programmed to shorten immediately as the room temperature became a few degree hotter. The fabric can be screwed up into a hard ball, pleated and creased then just by a flux of hot air (even a hairdyer) pop back automatically to its former shape. The fabric "Oricalco" is available for Universities and research labs in the store.
