7. BioFabricating Materials¶

Research¶

My reseach on biofabricating matrrial will focus on the following quastions.
- What are biomaterials and its types? - why is it needed and its properties? - Bio material Clitical aplications

Biofabricating Materials¶

Biomaterials are materials made from or by living organisms such as plants, bacteria, algae, or fungi. They are eco-friendly, renewable, and biodegradable, and they are increasingly used in fashion, design, and product innovation to replace synthetic, petroleum-based materials (Lee, 2015; Pistofidou, 2020). They help reduce environmental pollution and support the development of sustainable products. REFERENCE OF PICTURES :SUZANE-LEE

TYPES OF BIOMATERIALS

Plant-Based:This are Biomaterials Made from plant fibers or agricultural waste such as banana stems, pineapple leaves, and hemp.

Microbial : this are Biomaterials Created using microorganisms like bacteria or fungi.for example the picture below shows have Bacterial Cellulose, grown from kombucha cultures and mmushroom roots leather.

Bioplastics:biomaterials Formed from natural starches, glycerin, or seaweed to create biodegradable plastic films.such us Cassava-based bioplastic or Agar-based film.

why Biomaterials needed and its properties?¶

In order to provide sustainable, environmentally friendly substitutes for synthetic materials like plastics and traditional leather, which are not biodegradable and detrimental to the environment, biomaterials are required in fashion and design. By using plants, bacteria, or agricultural by-products like banana stems, pineapple leaves, or coffee husks, they contribute to waste reduction, make use of renewable resources, and enable creative textures and designs.

Properties¶

Biodegradability, renewability, non-toxicity, strength and flexibility, durability, and aesthetic versatility are important characteristics of biomaterials that make them excellent for producing fashion items that are safe, practical, and aesthetically pleasing. Refernce

### Biomaterial Clitical aplications Biomaterials are used in general industries for medical devices, biodegradable packaging, construction, and bioplastics, and in fashion to create eco-friendly textiles, bio-leather, natural-dye fabrics, and sustainable accessories. They replace synthetic materials with renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic alternatives, supporting both environmental sustainability and innovative design (Lee, 2015; Pistofidou, 2020).

References & Inspiration¶

The issue of post-harvest losses brought on by inadequate storage and temperature management motivated me. I made the decision to create a bio-based insulation foam using natural ingredients like starch and gelatin after researching cold room insulation systems. My objective was to develop a biodegradable, environmentally acceptable substitute for synthetic insulation that will lessen food waste and advance sustainability in apparel design and storage.

The picture show my insipition which led me to work of bioform

possible aplication of biofoam to replace nond bioegradable materials such us polyurethane.

Process of making my biodegradable foam¶

Recipe ingredients¶

150 ml of gelatine
200 ml water
100 ml glycerin
50 ml honey
2 ml of liquid soap

_ Procedure Of making Recipe Refernce


process one(puring woter to glass of gelatine )	process two(mixing with hand gelatine wother and honey)	process three(heating at medium heat)	process four (check it frequantly until every thing is liquid)
rocess five ( add few drops of liquid soap like 4ml)	process six (mixing with machine)	process seven (puring the mixed recipe on your prepared mold the wait for drying)
