6. BioFabricating Materials¶
(page in process) - write
Biomaterials are in my life for some years. I've started experimenting with them in 2018. Therefor for this week I decided to experiments with things I haven't tried yet. Like: The Algaes: Agar agar and Alginato, Glúten flour, grinded Kombucha and Kefir.

Experiments & Recipes¶
Prepare this recipe 1 by collecting the ingredients necessary, to be found in the list below:
Agar bio-plastic
* 1gr Agar
* 1gr Glicerin
* 50 ml Água
* measure Agar - measure Glicerin - measure Water
* Mix Water + Glicerin
* Mix WaterGlicerin + Agar
* Cook it slowly (don't let it boil) until it's honey like texture
* cast it or pour it in a surface
* let it dry (I casted at 11h 26/10)
stuck in the mold, should loose it before
Alginato flexible bio-sheet
* 12gr Alginato
* 40gr Glicerin
* 400 ml Water
* 100 ml Water
* 10gr Sodium Chloride hydrate (salt)
* measure Alginato - measure Glicerin - measure Water
* Mix and blend Water + Glicerin + Alginato
* Let it sit for 24 hours or until there's no bubbles
*
Gluten biopolimer 12h30
* 20gr Gluten
* 10gr Glicerin
* 75 ml Water
* measure Gluten - measure Glicerin - measure Water
