+
+### Description
+
+A thin, textured sheet of foamy, flexible bioplastic. Gelatine-based.
+
+### Physical form
+
+Surfaces & Surface Treatments 
+
+### Fabrication time
+
+Preparation time: 1 Hour
+
+Processing time: 5 days
+
+Need attention: after 3 days to demold, and keep pressed. After another 2 days to take them out of the press and airdry/store. 
+
+Final form achieved after: 1 week
+
+## Ingredients
+
+* **Gelatine powder - 12 gr**
+	* Functions as the polymeer (makes it hard)
+* **Glycerine - 12 gr**
+	* Functions as plasticizer that bonds with the gelatine (makes it flexible)
+* **Water - 150 ml/gr**
+	* To dissolve and mix the polymeer and plasticizer
+* **Dishwashing soap (organic) - 1 tsp**
+	* Is the expanding agent that makes the mixture foamy
+
+
+## Tools
+
+1. **Cooker or stove** (optional: temperature controlled)
+1. **Pot**
+1. **Scale**
+1. **Spoons** 
+1. **Whisk**
+1. **Lego sheet** (or other textured surface)
+
+
+## Yield before processing/drying/curing
+
+Approx. 150 ml
+
+## Method
+
+1. **Preparation**
+
+	- Weigh your ingredients
+	- Prepare the molds you wish to use
+
+1. **Mixing and dissolving the ingredients**
+	- bring the water to the boil
+	- optional: add natural dye if you wish to use color
+	- add the glycerine
+	- add the gelatine
+	- keep the temperature below 80 degrees celcius while stirring gently, until the gelatine is dissolved
+
+1. **Cooking the ingredients, creating foam**
+
+	- 	Simmer and slowly stir the mixture between 60-80 degrees celcius for 10 minutes, then add in the soap
+	-  	Whisk vigorously to create foam bubbles and simmer for another 2-5 minutes until the mixture thickens
+	-   Stir slowly to let the bigger bubbles pop until you have a foam with small bubbles
+
+1. **Casting the foam**
+
+	- 	Cast onto the lego sheet (or other textured sheet) and spread out if necessary. Cast in the center of the sheet and allow the material to spread itself, keeping the pot still for even results.
+	-  The material will shrink a lot so make the layer thicker than you want the end result to be.
+	-  Let it dry for 48-72 hours at least before releasing
+
+
+### Drying/curing/growth process
+
+Peel it off the mold after 48-72 hours. The foam should not feel cold to the touch, then it's still drying. Pinch off the more fragile sides first to create some grip. Then pull it off carefully, pulling upwards.
+
+- Mold depth:  3 mm
+- Shrinkage thickness       30-50 %
+- Shrinkage width/length    0-10 %
+
+**Shrinkage and deformation control**
+
+This recipe results in a somewhat flexible material so it's ok to cast onto a rigid mold, the flexibility will allow you to release it. 
+
+The lego texture keeps the foam in place and will help reduce shrinkage on width and length.
+
+Waiting too long to release from the mold can result in tearing. The foam gets a bit more brittle and thin as it dries. Releasing it too early might leave finger prints and presses in the foam as its still too soft.
+
+**Curing agents and release agents**
+
+None. 
+
+**Minimum wait time before releasing from mold**
+
+2 days
+
+**Post-processing**
+
+The sides will curl upwards upon further drying. I cut off the thinner edges (they curl more) to create an eve sheet. 
+
+You can keep the sheet pressed at intervals of a day or so between kitchen paper and a stack of books to keep it flat if it curls up. Try to air it out too to prevent mold growth.
+
+Store flat in a dry and ventilated room.
+
+**Further research needed on drying/curing/growth?**
+
+Yes. Casting solids or smooth surface might require a different process to prevent deformation.

+
+## Variations on this recipe
+
+- Add a **natural colorant** such as a vegetable dye or water-based ink (e.g. hibiscus, beetroot, madder)
+- Add **less glycerine** for a more rigid foam, more for a more flexible foam
+- **Stiffeners** such as fibres or natural debris may be added for more structure and reinforcement.
+- **Fillers** such as almond or sunflower oil, chak or egg shells can be added to prevent additional shrinkage.
+
+## Cultural & ecological information
+
+### Where are the ingredients locally abundant?
+
+Gelatin is collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals (e.g. cattle, chicken, pigs, fish). It can be produced almost anywhere, so try finding a local supplier. In the Netherlands, Jacob Hooy sells gelatine made from cow's skin.
+
+Glycerin is a sugar alcohol derived from animal products, plants or petroleum. As such it can be produced almost anywhere. Try to find a vegetable-based glycerine that is produced locally. In the Netherlands, Orphi is an affordable vegetable-based glycerin brand.
+
+Water quality is not of the essence for this recipe. Most tap water will be fine. The PH level of the water might affect PH sensitive natural colorants (e.g. ink or dye extracted from blueberries, red cabbage or other vegetables rich in anthocyanins).
+
+Any dishwashing soap that foams should work. Different soaps might create different foam. Using an organic eco-friendly soap that is locally produced is recommended.
+
+**Needs further research?**  Not sure
+
+### Cultural origins of this recipe
+
+Bioplastic production is older than petrol based plastics. In 1500 BC, people in Egypt were already using glues based on gelatin, casein and albumin for furniture constructions.
+
+**Needs further research?**   Not sure

+
+### Known concerns and contestations\*
+
+Needs further research
+
+Gelatin is an animal-based ingredient. Some might find it problematic to use resources that requires killing an animal because of religious or animal welfare beliefs. Arguments are also made that as long as there's a meat industry, it is better to use product from the entire animal, including skin and bones. Some might consider gelatin to be a product that comes from a waste stream, but this is considered controversial by others.

+
+## Material properties
+
+### Comparative qualities
+
+The biofoam feels like the foam-like packaging materials sometimes used for shipping fragile goods or thick foamy kitchen cloth. It feels colder to the touch and is slightly stickier. The upside shows visible bubbles, but the mold-facing side feels very smooth if the mold had a smooth surface. It somewhat keeps the smell of the dishwashing liquid.

 # Final Project


+##What?
+
+A proposal for an online accessible *open-source material archive with DIY recipes for renewable and biocompostable (or recycled) materials for designers*. It is based on the knowledge collected and created in and around the Fabricademy network, and builds upon the (physical) Material Archive at Textile Lab Waag that was realised by Cecilia Raspanti, Maria Viftrup and others in 2016-2017.
+
+A selection of 25 biofabricated materials is already documented and forms a suggested "starter archive" for anyone who would like to build their own physical archive with samples. Building the basic archive will teach you the foundational techniques that most other recipes will build upon, and require you to collect the basic tools and ingredients you will need.

+##Why?
+
+- sustainability
+- nuance: no perfect material but let's collect information
+- not mystifying
+- but also not simplifying
+- technique is half the work
+- thorough documentation and referencing highlighted
+- thorough and feedback system by committed peers
+- local specificity
+- cultural/historical perspective incl contestations
+- including technical and sensory specifics
+- tactile / sound demo often lacking but very necessary
+
+
+##How?
+
+
+##For Who?
+
+The recipes in the archive are accessible to anyone with a device that has a browser and an internet connection. 
+
+
+Anyone dedicated to biofabricating materials and some experience in at least one of the processes can submit a recipe manually. If the recipe is thoroughly researched, the person can join as a contributor and get a log-in account.
