FROM BIOLOGY TO MATERIAL POSSIBILITYDiscover what’s inside

01 /An overlooked resource

THERE IS MORE
INSIDE FUNGI
THAN WE USE TODAY.

Fungal biomass contains valuable polymers, pigments and functional fractions.

TriNova develops methods to separate, characterize and formulate these materials for specific performance requirements.

02 /The TriNova transformation

From biological complexity.
To material precision.

ONE RESOURCE. THREE DELIBERATE STEPS.
01/ 03

FRACTIONATE.

One material. Four useful streams.

Separate valuable polymers, pigments and functional fractions from fungal biomass.

FUNCTIONALIZE.

From fractions to designed structure.

Explore how chemistry, connectivity and molecular structure can be tuned around a material requirement.

MW / SOLUBILITY / CROSSLINKING
Conceptual structural tuning: dispersed chains of varied lengths, associated strands, then a network with selective crosslinks. Not a molecular structure or a measured solubility result.OPENASSOCIATEDCROSSLINKED

FORMULATE.

Give the material a purpose.

Combine engineered fractions into application-specific coatings, biopolymers, pigments and research matrices.
