  1. Bioplastic
  2. Experiments with Bioplastic

Fully Dissolving Bioplastic

This experiment consists of letting the agar dissolve into the solution overnight instead of directly cooking it after creating and mixing the solution. My theory with this is that it would allow for transparent films instead of the grainy ones I currently produce. Unfortunately, I don't have a magnetic mixy plate to stir the solution overnight, so what might happen is that the agar might all fall to the bottom.

I haven't done this yet, but I will soon.
