MeMeFibre™ · Functional materials platform

HUSKORA™

Carbon Born from Rice. Performance Woven In.

A rice-husk-derived platform that turns agricultural by-product into application-designed carbon, silica and carbon–silica materials for fibres, textiles, filtration and future intelligent surfaces.

Not a universal powder

Designed for the application — then engineered backward.

HUSKORA™ is not one universal powder searching for a purpose. Every grade begins with the intended application, then works backward to define particle size, pore structure, surface chemistry, carrier system and final product form.

Application→Performance Requirement→Material Structure→Product Form

Why rice husk?

A naturally distinctive carbon–silica architecture

By controlling purity, particle size, porosity, surface area and surface chemistry, HUSKORA™ is engineered for different end uses — not treated as a generic agricultural carbon.

Controlled desilication

Removing part of the silica to create and open accessible pore structures.

Retained silica architecture

Preserving selected silica content to develop carbon–silica and functional-silica materials.

Designed for the application

From performance target to product form

01
Define the application and measurable requirement.
02
Engineer the appropriate carbon, silica or carbon–silica structure.
03
Select particle size, pore distribution and surface treatment.
04
Choose delivery form: powder, dispersion, slurry, granule, pellet or polymer masterbatch.
05
Validate performance in the finished fibre, fabric, component or product.

First-generation carbon development prioritises steam and CO₂ activation. Additional chemical or surface-functionalisation routes are evaluated only where the application requires them.

Textile material platforms

Regenerated cellulose, polyester and polyamide — each with its own programme

HUSKORA™ CELL

For Viscose, Rayon, Modal and future regenerated-cellulose fibres

Designed for wet-spinning systems using textile-grade functional powders, aqueous dispersions or stable spinning slurries.

Stable dispersion in the spinning system
Controlled particle size and agglomeration
Filtration and spinneret compatibility
Retention of the functional material within the fibre
Fibre strength, elongation, whiteness and colour control
Dyeability, moisture behaviour and hand feel
Wash durability and finished-product performance

Potential formats: viscose-compatible dispersions, concentrated aqueous slurries and application-specific functional additives.

HUSKORA™ PET

For Polyester and Recycled Polyester

A high-dispersion functional system for PET and rPET melt spinning. Development evaluates high-temperature stability, polymer compatibility, melt filtration, spinning continuity, fibre properties, colour, dyeability and functional durability.

Surface-modified functional powders
PET-carrier spinning masterbatches
Formulations designed for recycled-polyester processing

HUSKORA™ PA

For Nylon 6 and Nylon 66

Designed for polyamide fibres requiring controlled moisture, thermal stability and fine-particle dispersion.

Compatibility with Nylon 6 and Nylon 66
Moisture control and masterbatch stability
Melt filtration and spinneret performance
Suitability for fine-denier fibres
Strength, abrasion resistance, colour and dyeability
Hand feel and wash durability

Functional material families

Application-designed grades

C-ODOR

HUSKORA™ C-ODOR

Application-designed porous carbon for odour-management research in footwear, sportswear, bedding, interiors and selected consumer products. Performance claims will be made only after testing against defined target compounds in the relevant finished product.

C-AIR

HUSKORA™ C-AIR

Porous carbon and carbon–silica structures for air-filtration media, nonwovens and functional interior materials. Development focuses on pressure drop, adsorption performance, particle retention, service life and safe integration into the final filter structure.

C-TEX

HUSKORA™ C-TEX

Textile-grade materials engineered for internal fibre integration, masterbatch use, coating, printing or composite structures — apparel, underwear, outdoor, footwear, bedding, mattresses, automotive textiles and technical nonwovens.

C-WATER

HUSKORA™ C-WATER

Application-specific porous materials for water-treatment research. Each grade is designed around the target contaminant, water chemistry, flow conditions and regeneration requirements. PFAS-related work is a separate research programme — no PFAS-removal claim without compound-specific independent testing.

HUSKORA™ SMART SKIN

An intelligent material layer between the human body and the environment

Exploring how functional silica, mesoporous structures, photonic materials and carbon–silica systems can become part of a textile layer that responds to the body and surroundings — underwear, bedding, mattresses, outdoor clothing, sportswear, care textiles and future wearable systems.

First stage: passive response

Near-term functions through the material itself, without complex electronics.

Moisture and microclimate management
Thermal insulation and temperature management
Odour adsorption
Easy-care and soil-release surfaces
Optical or colour response to defined conditions
Pressure-distribution layers
Sleep-environment management

Second stage: active sensing

Longer-term integration with conductive fibres, flexible sensors and data systems.

Sweat and humidity sensing
Skin-surface and environmental temperature monitoring
Movement and posture detection
Mattress pressure mapping and sleep-position analysis
Prolonged sitting or lying alerts
Environmental exposure monitoring

Silica can act as a responsive structure, adsorption carrier or sensing interface. Electronic signal generation requires conductive materials, sensing components and a suitable readout system.

Target applications

Underwear & next-to-skin

Manage or respond to sweat, humidity, temperature and odour in everyday, sports and recovery apparel.

Bedding & mattresses

Sheets, pillowcases, duvets, ticking and pressure-responsive structures for comfort, hospitality and care.

Outdoor & performance

Materials for changing body and environmental conditions in sport, hiking, cold-weather and protective apparel.

Medical & care textiles

Research pathways for moisture, pressure and care-environment monitoring — subject to safety and regulatory validation.

Infant & senior care

Potential responsive materials for moisture indication, pressure management and environmental monitoring.

From material to market

Inside the MeMeFibre™ fibre-to-product network

This integrated route allows each material to be evaluated in the product where performance ultimately matters.

Rice-husk material science
Powder, dispersion and masterbatch development
Fibre and filament production
Yarn, fabric and nonwoven engineering
Apparel, bedding, mattress and filtration manufacturing
Finished-product testing
Global brand development and market introduction

Development and validation

HUSKORA™ is an active development platform. Performance depends on the selected grade, loading, carrier, process, substrate and final product construction. All claims must be supported by application-specific testing. Material-level results do not automatically transfer to a finished fibre, fabric, garment, mattress or filter. Antibacterial, medical, recovery, health, environmental-remediation and PFAS-related claims will not be used without appropriate independent evidence and, where applicable, regulatory review.
