silcularity

silcularity describes a process to embed bombyx mori,  mulberry silk, as a circular material. For this purpose, a natural solvent was developed which dissolves silk fibroins out of cocoons, mixed fabrics and production left overs. In addition it is shown that the original colour can be retained and the liquid fibroin be brought into various shapes and membranes. In BioLab, textile surfaces made of nanofibres were created using the electrospinning technique. Silks can be solved and recurred in several non-hazardous parts. These developments of possible additions to the product cycle of silk keeps the original material alive as a next „living layer“. These techniques are well documented and stored inside a knowledgebase of the lab. In further projects silks can be used as a raw material or for electrospinning purposes.
