Durable, high-strength carbon-negative enzymatic structural materials via a capillary suspension technique. A new enzymatic structural material absorbs CO₂ and cures within hours, offering a strong, recyclable, and carbon-negative alternative to traditional concrete for sustainable construction.
Durable, high-strength carbon-negative enzymatic structural materials via a capillary suspension technique
The enzymatic structural material (ESM) is formed by mineralizing crystals catalyzed
by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, followed by thermal curing to create a bulk structure.
Minerals are first precipi...
