Biofabrics from Sodium Alginate

This was a study meant to understand the properties and nature of biofabrics made with the help of sodium alginate, which is an extract of brown seaweed, sodium alginate as a substance is often used for baking purposes. The research aimed at the making of biofabrics from many different organic and inorganic materials like tea, beetroot, coffee, sugar, water, colored water and even salt water. The study aims at understanding and taking a step further at progressing the development of sustainable fabrics. Our biofabrics showcase the potential to significantly reduce the environmental impact associated with conventional textile manufacturing. Its properties can be customized to cater to a wide array of applications.
