# Agar Ag06 (Solid, with Plasticizer)

Ingredients:&#x20;

* Water (10 mL)
* Agar agar powder (3 g)
* Glycerol (3 g)

Procedure:

* Mix all the ingredients into a pan or pot
* Heat up all the ingredients to 85-90 C on the stove
* Mix thoroughly
* Lower heat if bubbles are forming on the bottom of the pan
* Take off heat after about 4 minutes of stirring or until the agar is fully dissolved (the solution is at least 85 C and thicker than when started)
* Let dry for a few days on an ice tray or other suitable/mold surface
* Done!

Properties:

* Before drying: like a very grainy blob
* After drying: grainy, sandy lump

Notes:

* This was just for fun to see the minimum required water to make bioplastic
* Do not try at home! This is not strong, and there was not enough water to thoroughly mix everything together, so the agar could not bond.&#x20;
