Characterisation of Supramolecular Engineered Protein Gel Dispersions

Xanta的天然塑料替代品是基于剑桥大学的一项突破性科学突破。从蜘蛛制造丝绸的方式中学习，Xanta团队可以用低能量和没有化学变化的方式将常见的植物蛋白质改造成新的形式。我们的材料可以减少塑料对我们环境的有害影响。Xanta的植物蛋白材料的强度和性能依赖于精确的结构。该项目旨在对材料进行表征，以提高我们对材料的理解，提供性能改进，并扩大我们的生产规模。这项创新的分析工作将由NPL在两个高技能专家小组之间的协作下进行。

Xampla's natural replacements for plastic are based on a ground-breaking scientific breakthrough from the University of Cambridge. Learning from the way a spider makes silk, the Xampla team can engineer commonly available plant proteins into new forms, using low energy and with no chemical changes. Our materials can reduce the harmful impact of plastic in our environment.The strength and performance of Xampla's plant-protein materials is dependent on the precise structure. This project aims to characterize the materials to improve our understanding of the materials, deliver performance improvements and enable scale-up of our production. This innovative analysis work will be undertaken by NPL, with a collaboration between two highly skilled expert teams.
