This project investigates the sugar uptake and transport mechanisms in cotton plants to develop bio-based fibers with tailored properties. By utilizing sugar derivatives, the goal is to enhance the hydrophobicity of cotton fibers, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical manufacturing processes.
Naturally produced fibers have always played central roles in shaping human civilizations.
Current hazardous chemical-based manufacturing processes and consumers' preferences for cotton products are putting much strain on the future of cottons global economy.
Thus, it is urgent to seek future sustainable alternatives.
What alternatives and tools are available?
Which new avenues are waiting to be explored toward this end?
Harnessing biological systems is one of humanitys ultimate frontiers.
