week I
I BIO PLASTICS
1.BIO RESIN (Day1-Day4)
RECIPE: 48 gr Gelatine, 8g Glycerine, 240ml water, blue and red food dye/pigment
in the video below: making a thicker and opaque resin rock with the “skin”layer, 5 min after pouring the composition into the Petri dish
2.BIO FOAM with BIO SILICONE (Day1-Day4)
RECIPE BIO FOAM: 48 gr Gelatine, 8g Glycerine, 240ml water, table spoon SOAP, red food dye/pigment
3. BIO SILICONE (Day1-Day4)
RECIPE: 48 gr Gelatine, 48g Glycerine, 240ml water, red food dye/pigment (the original recipe), added extra 48g Gelatine
Testing the properties of biosilicon on day 4: flexibility, resistance, transparency, size
Bio Silicone pricked with the tip of a pen with black ink, to see if, when it dries, the black stripes remain visible in the thickness of the composition; red pigment (Day1-Day4)
II BIO SAFETY (risks inside and outside the Lab; biological agents and risks; biological risk groups; bio-occupational Health strategy, containment and procedures, safe microbiological techniques, standard operating procedures, personal protection,NFPA safety diamond, special labels, biological and chemical waste, GMO and legislations) with Peer Straugaard
