The in detail planning of the 3 month project development phase as I plan it to be.

For the development of my project, I always had in mind that I wanted to develop a bioplastic that was reactive to physical properties of the body. These reactive characteristics could be "inputs" or "outputs" from the body to the material, or from the material to the body.

From the beginning I did an extensive documentary review on the properties of bioplastics, garments, pollution from the textile industry which was constantly addressed throughout the project. Then I started experimenting with different materials such as pectin and gelatin, and by trial and error I was defining the right material for the objectives I was looking for in the project. In the end, I developed toxic-free biodyes as a dye for my biomaterial. At all times, I took into account the manufaturing time and drying time along with the experimentation time of each material obtained.

Jury's Feedback¶

The argument in the problematic that approaches your project mentioning the toxic fibers and the negative impact on the body skin and environment is very clear. After this I recommend changing the sentence "opportunity to create a second skin" in your speech. Because the biomaterial you are creating must be the conclusion of your research or the reflection of an hypothesis. For example you can open the discussion of a new opportunity by asking a marking question > How to develop a biobased material to protect the skin while practicing outdoor sport activities, interconnected through the interaction of the human natural fluids (this is an example). And defining a frame of limitations or the properties of the material depending on the specific interaction with the skin and the body like: antimicrobial, humidity regulator, transpirable, degradation timing, and other technical aspects of the material to achieve. ( which I don't know)

Then comes the exploration of chemistry, studies of sensations, emotions, feelings, body movement mentioned. How the material feels on the body. How is the degradation of the material controlled? How is the usability explanation of the product? Is gelatin achieving the project needs? As they said how about exploring other techniques such as spray can and adding fibers in gelatine, what are the variations of the concept, and finally how the project connects with the awareness of sustainability through a new material innovation.
