Modern Synthesis are developing nanocellulose-based biomaterials, such as leather-like fabrics. Bacteria grow the raw material, nanocellulose, as a natural byproduct of fermentation. Modern Synthesis then creates a customised nanocellulose biofilm, which they combine with a natural textile to create a versatile range of non-woven materials.
