Seabrick Technology
Seabrick can be made of 90 – 95% kelp. It consists of a shell and an interior. The interior is compressed kelp fiber, similar to wood fiberboard such as MDF. The shell is made of a polymer matrix composite, composed of resin from kelp mixed with microfibers and nanofibers from kelp.
SeaBrick interlock horizontally to form an extremely strong but flexible mat, like chainmail.
Layers of seabrick can be precisely stacked; like lego with hooked sides. Unlike Lego, which is based on a square pattern, Seabrick use a triangular pattern that allows a variety of shapes including triangles, hexagons, trapezoids and rhombi as well as squares and rectangles.
Individual bricks are rigid. However, assemblies of bricks incorporate spacing and have meta-characteristics including flexibility and shock absorption.
The bricks integrate a cable tension system which can squeeze layers tightly together. This creates rigid substructures which can be made impermeable for further buoyancy as well as alternative uses of bricks (eg. energy storage).
Seabrick are floating, interlocking blocks made primarily of seaweed.
Seamlessly locking together, the SeaBrick system creates a secure and durable connection, allowing for versatile applications across various sectors, from aquaculture to hospitality to offshore energy infrastructure and climate adaptation.
