REGENERATIVE TEXTILES & ADAPTIVE BIOSKIN
Algal Bioskin functions as a living, breathable interface between humans and the environment. The algal material captures CO₂ directly from the human skin while producing energy for the wearers through algae’s photosynthetic processes. Over time, the bioskin can harden into a durable fabric or cartilage-like structure, offering applications in medical healing, such as tissue regeneration, or as adaptive wearable technology. By incorporating biosensors, it monitors physiological signals and responds to environmental conditions, creating a symbiotic relationship between the wearer and the material.
Regenerative Textiles extend this innovation into the fashion industry, enabling garments to self-repair and grow, challenging the unsustainable fast-fashion paradigm. These textiles, created from algae-based materials, are fully recyclable, returning to a solid-state carbon slurry to serve as raw material for new creations. This circular approach transforms fashion into a climate-positive industry, addressing the ecological and ethical challenges of textile production.
The ideal outcome is to develop systems that “grow” materials directly into their intended forms from carbon pollution, extending my research with the Solid-State Carbon biotech.
