Qingdao University Develops the First Batch of Algae Fabrics in China

Recently, more than 10 experts and scholars from the School of Chemical Engineering of Qingdao University undertook a production line under the “New Materials for Marine Biomass Fiber” project, which can produce 800 tons of seaweed fiber each year for the production and development of special clothing. It is reported that clothes made of seaweed fibers are not only breathable, light and comfortable, but also have a strong fire protection function.

The so-called “seaweed clothing” is actually extracting solid sodium alginate from giant seaweed, and then dissolving it. In the middle process, calcium, copper, barium, zinc and other ions are added for replacement, followed by modification of the spinning solution. Spin forming, drafting, washing, oiling and other links. Compared with cotton, wool, hemp, and chemical fiber used by people in everyday clothing, the strength and breathability of “seaweed fiber” should be significantly higher.

At present, the scientific research team is using seaweed fiber to make a special garment, which is mainly used for the production of work clothing for special personnel such as firefighting and military. Compared with firefighters, who are now heavy and heavy, they are lighter and more flexible.

It is understood that seaweed is an important renewable marine resource, and China's seaweed production is 500,000 tons/year, accounting for 56% of the world. Shandong is an important base for seaweed farming and research in China, and its output accounts for more than two thirds of the country, except for a small amount. In addition to food and drug development, a large number of seaweed resources have not been effectively used. After mass production of the "Marine Biomass Fiber New Material" project of Qingdao University, it can promote seaweed farming, fiber, textile and other industries to form a new industrial chain and economic growth point.
