The Textile Materials Library was part of a bigger research on Sustainable Pathways to Repurpose Textile Waste, thesis of my MFA in Design at the University of California Davis. In this project, different biobinders were explored to create textile waste composites with different material properties. BIO meant that these binders were either biobased, biodegradable, required low energy in the manufacturing process, or no external synthetic compounds. Different materials were explored like starches, gelatine, casein, tree resins, alginates, agar, and shellac; polycaprolactone (PCL), Jesmonite, and PVA glue. Also binding strategies were explored like thermal fusion of synthetic fibers, mechanical binding, and mycelium growth on textile waste, which lead to the project MycoTextile Futures, which expanded on the idea of textile fiber biodegradation along fungal biocycles.
