Coir & Chitin - Digital Biomimetics

In our project, our team engineered a novel biomaterial crafted from coconut fibres and chitin, boasting durability and self-healing capabilities. These unique properties hold promise in addressing the challenges posed by global warming. Leveraging this material, we successfully devised prototypes for both a helmet and a chair, showcasing its versatility and potential for practical applications. Our endeavour marks a significant step forward in sustainable material innovation with potential implications across various industries.
