biomaterial research PhD
the research explores the decomposition properties of biomaterials local to United Kingdom. for the initial round of testing, alginate was chosen for the biomaterial base as it is derived from brown seaweeds, a surplus of which can be found around Scotland. the material using alginate as the base is called alginic.
alginic composites
various alginic composites & formulations
alginic ‘poppy’
alginic was used to make the petals of the poppy to test natural decomposition
alginic + rice paper + coffee
