Animate materials are capable of adapting and responding to environmental challenges Two mechanisms are currently proposed to realise animate materials. Biohybrid structures encapsulate cells within non-living matrices, adding a geometric dimension to immobilisation. In this way they can modulate the functional performance of the material in some manner, or even form or assemble the composite itself. Through the integration of living systems, the very substance of our built environment could perform active roles in carbon dioxide uptake or remediation of pollution, generation of electricity via biophotovoltaics or creation of microbiome-enhancing green infrastructures for ecosystem services. Aims of the Research:This interdisciplinary project seeks to purpose and coordinate new techniques around the synthesis and fabrication of living materials for design. The aim is to shape self-sustaining biological systems that are consistent with the affordances of automation to enable a distributed bio-programmable built environment. Through the integration of approaches from biochemical engineering, design and manufacturing we will create new forms of bioreactor compatible with hosting microbial consortia for environmental applications. The goal is to employ advanced fabrication methodologies for the creation of living "metamaterials"- whereby emergent properties derive from both biochemical composition, as well as the inner geometric structure and outer surface morphology of composites.Objectives:1. Survey of materials for the creation of biohybrid materials and investigation of of new fabrication techniques for their scale up2. Creation of a model system to examine in-situ vs ex-situ performance of a biohybrid material3. Evaluate the biohybrid material to an environmental challenge e.g. recovery of heavy metals or remediation of organic wastes

目前，动画材料能够适应和应对环境挑战，目前提出了两种机制来实现动画材料。生物杂交结构将细胞封装在非生存的矩阵中，从而增加了固定的几何维度。通过这种方式，他们可以以某种方式调节材料的功能性能，甚至可以形成或组装复合材料本身。通过生活系统的整合，我们建筑环境的实质可以在二氧化碳吸收或修复污染，通过生物植物发电或创建微生物组增强生态系统服务的绿色基础设施。研究的目的：这个跨学科项目旨在目的和协调围绕设计材料的合成和制造设计的新技术。目的是塑造自动化的自我维持的生物系统，这些系统与自动化的能力相一致，以实现分布式的生物保护构建环境。通过整合生化工程，设计和制造的方法，我们将创建与托管环境应用微生物财团兼容的新形式的生物反应器。目的是利用先进的制造方法来创建生命的“超材料” - 从而源自生物化学成分，以及复合材料的内部几何结构和外表面形态。目标：1。对生物杂化材料的创建材料的调查以及对其规模UP2的新制造技术的调查2。创建模型系统以检查生物杂化材料的原位与原位性能3。评估生物杂交材料以涉及环境挑战，例如恢复重金属或有机废物的修复
