research & development in white biotechnology

Penelope Mimetics commercializes existing technologies and develops new intellectual property through biomimetic processes related to bio-based materials, which are more eco-friendly than their petroleum based counterparts.

We are developing intellectual property related to biopolymer additives that have targeted functionalities. Our biomimetic nanomaterials enhance the mechanical properties of polymers in end-use markets.

We are also conducting research and development in proprietary intellectual property related to creating sustainable and affordable, American-sourced alternatives to cotton.

This exploration pertains to the research and development of new fiber-based products for the nonwovens and textile markets including an investigation into biomimetically designed natural fiber substitutes and/or supplements.

White biotechnology mines the possibilities within natural processes and resources to identify biologically-based material technologies that can replace petroleum-based synthetic materials.

Biomimetics is the study of the formation, structure, or function of biologically produced substances and materials and biological mechanisms and processes especially for the purpose of synthesizing similar products by artificial mechanisms which mimic natural ones.
