What are synthetic dyes made of? First off, synthetic dyes are made up ofchemical compoundsthat can be harmful to humans, especially those who work in their production. Some of the chemicals found in synthetic dyes are mercury, lead, chromium, copper, sodium chloride, toluene, and benzene. ...

Given the rapid increase in the production ofsynthetic fibers, and the as-yet-unknown impact of microplastics (which weredocumented in human placentaslast year)—the question remains whether clothing should be made from biologically incompatible materials at all. Polyester clothes, regardless of fiber ...
According to an analysis by BCG’s Henderson Institute, synthetic biology could disrupt industries that account for as much as30% of global GDP by 2030. (See “What Are Syn-Bio Materials?”) The timing and expected impact vary across industries, with materials and chemicals expected to see co...
Material Science and Engineering have shown that animals spin silk by pulling rather than pushing it out of their bodies. They suggest that if this process can be copied in an industrial setting, it could improve how synthetic materials are processed and offer more environmentally-friendly ...
Nanomaterials are materials with at least one dimension in the 1-100 nm range, exhibiting unique properties that enhance applications in electronics, medicine, energy, and space exploration.
By this point, however, it had become possible to produce fabrics that resembled gold or silver lamé using synthetic materials and aluminum, which significantly reduced the exclusivity of this type of fabric. It’s relatively easy, however, to tell the difference between genuine and imitation lam...
Chemically, polyester is a polymer primarily composed of compounds within the ester functional group. Most synthetic and some plant-based polyester fibers are made from ethylene, which is a constituent of petroleum that can also be derived from other sources. While some forms of polyester are biode...
Instead, felted fabric is made from matted and compressed fibers or fur with no apparent system of threads. Felt is produced as these fibers and/or fur are pressed together using heat, moisture, and pressure. Felt is generally composed of wool that is mixed with a synthetic in order to ...
LX:Synthetic biology itself is about 20 years old at this point and interest in making engineered cells into materials has been growing a lot in the last decade. Mikhail Shapiro (MS):It is a long-held vision that we are going to be able to make materials based on living things. In ...
