Scientists make powerful underwater glue inspired by barnacles and mussels

Scientists replicate the molecular properties of the natural cement used by barnacles and mussels to create a powerful adhesive using silk protein. The new adhesive can work well in both dry and underwater conditions.

Tufts Researchers Develop Leather Alternative Thanks to 3D Printing

Tufts Researchers Develop Leather Alternative Thanks to 3D Printing Published on May 8, 2021 by The use of 3D printing offers different advantages for different industries. The ability to produce complex geometries with a variety of materials using 3D printing is highly relevant for artists and designers, among others. It often seems as if creativity is no longer limited by the technology. Additive manufacturing processes also seem to be gaining in importance in the fashion industry. Because there is an increasing desire to set an example for ethical production methods and climate protection, interest in material alternatives and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes is on the rise. For example, 3D printing is ideally suited for reconstructing natural patterns or shapes, which can be derived into bionics. Researchers at Tufts University, for example, are using 3D printing to create animal-free products from a leather alternative that is intended to resemble real leather

Tufts SilkLab Creates Leather-like Material from Silk Proteins

Alternative leather manufacturing moves towards sustainable sources and environmentally friendly chemical processes A small clutch purse demonstrates the utility of silk leather in manufacturing products Leather is an ever growing multi-billion dollar industry requiring more than 3.8 billion bovine animals – equal to one for every two people on earth – to sustain production each year. And while the products – clothing, shoes, furniture and more – can be quite elegant and durable, the environmental impact of leather production has been severe, leading to deforestation, water and land overuse, environmental pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers at Tufts University School of Engineering set out to find an alternative to leather, with similar texture, flexibility and stiffness, yet focused on materials that are sustainable, non-toxic, and friendly to the environment. It turns out, we have been wearing that material all along – it’s silk, but instead of weav
