Material experiments based on alginate, agar agar and carrageenan biolymers and glycerin
My research explores algae-derived biopolymers such as alginate, agar agar, and carrageenan as sustainable alternatives for thin films and flexible materials. Through iterative testing, I examine how different formulations influence transparency, strength, and moisture resistance. These experiments reveal the broad design potential of naturally biodegradable, CO₂-binding materials.
