This project focusses on the development of a stronger, higher capacity Ooho membrane with a longer shelf-life than the current prototype, designing an automated production process and researching the ability to create a double layered membrane. The project builds upon the innovative alginate membrane work we have completed in the lab and Ooho sphere design that we have successful demonstrated in 2016</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
