Type : Innovation
TITLE: SERI-HEAL BANDAGE.
Description:
A novel wound dressing material made of silk Fibroin, a protein extracted from silkworm cocoons, to create biocompatible, biodegradable and highly effective bandage for wound care.
Novelty:
1.Cell proliferation: Silk fibroin stimulates cell growth, migration, and differentiation, leading to faster wound closure.2.Collagen synthesis: Silk fibroin enhances collagen production, essential for wound strength and tissue regeneration.3.Angiogenesis: Silk fibroin promotes blood vessel formation, improving oxygenation and nutrient delivery to the wound.
4.Silk fibroin exhibits antimicrobial properties, reducing the risk of infection
5.Silk fibroin is non-toxic and biocompatible, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
6.. Breathable and moisture-wicking 7. Self Bioabsorbable: so don’t need to be removed 8.Sustained release of growth factors 9.Silk fibroin is Biodegradable.
Applications:
1.Wound care( cuts, burns, ulcers)
2.Surgical wound closure.
3.cosmetic applications ( e.g., scar, plastic surgeries).
4.veterinary wound care.
B) TITLE: SERI-BIOPESTICIDE
Description:
A novel biopesticide formulation combining sericin, Artemisia extraction and sulfer nanoparticles to control agriculture pests and diseases.
Components:
1.Sericin: Having adhesion and adjuvant property, Biocompatible, Biodegradable, UV-blocking property.
2.Artemisia: know for its insecticidal, fungicidal and antibacterial property.
3.Sulfur nanoparticles: Increases their insecticidal and fungicidal efficacy.
Novelty:
sericin itself has antimicrobial property, leading to more efficient pest control.
C) TITLE: SILK-SHIELD PURIFIER
Description:
A novel water Ultra-filtration membrane utilizing silk fibroin, a protein extracted from silkworm cocoon to create a sustainable, high performance and biodegradable membrane for water purification.
Novelty:
1. Sericin's inherent mineral content: Sericin, a natural protein extracted from silkworm cocoons, contains minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These minerals can leach into the filtered water, enriching it with essential nutrients.
2. Silk fibroin-sericin based filtration membrane allows oxygen (O2). Enhanced aquatic life support, Reduced biofouling, Increased membrane lifespan.
3. Silk fibroin-sericin based filtration membrane is designed for long durability.
4.Chemical resistance: The membrane's natural proteins resist chemical.
4. Silk fibroin-sericin based filtration membrane has antimicrobial properties because of the presence of sericin.
5. The silk fibroin-sericin membrane is non-toxic because composed of natural proteins, which means its nanoparticles are biocompatible and non-toxic to humans.
6.High strength and durability
7.Biocompatibility And non- toxic
8.Thermal stability.
9.Cost effective.
