Applied Biomimetic is an international biomimetic engineering group that builds upon a simple but powerful concept: Nature’s ability to separate chemical elements at the molecular level using highly specialised proteins as tools. In fact, Applied Biomimetic holds the global patent for the basic idea of embedding proteins in a polymeric membrane. In their first implementation of this patent, they have successfully embedded one particular protein, aquaporin, in a polymer membrane for water treatment. Their subsidiary, Mangrove Membranes, Inc., is focusing exclusively on developing a product range for water treatment using this concept. They foresee a number of new applications for their technology that may be established at a later stage, e.g. new delivery mechanisms for pharmaceuticals, new coatings for contact lenses, and more effective products for the cosmetics industry.
