Our technology transforms biowaste into renewable nanomaterials designed to provide targeted functionality that overcomes the limitations of existing solutions

Starting from a sustainable source

Our materials are derived from chitosan, an abundant, biodegradable biowaste with unique anti-microbial properties.

Functionalization at molecular level

The algorithms and chemistries that we have developed allow us to make targeted changes to chitosan for optimized performance

Optimized high surface area membranes

Optimized chitosan is processed by electrospinning into nano fibrous membranes with superior surface area, for selective contaminant reduction at a low energy cost.

Customizable for target applications

Our novel materials can be customized to meet the needs of a wide range of public health applications, from water purification, industrial separation, skin care, and beyond.
