PROTEIN-BASED BIOPLASTICS profile by Charlotte Bolinski, Amon Zänker & Sophia Reißenweber Description of the material:Proteins consist of amino acids and are built up and broken down by enzymes. Depending on the protein source, they differ greatly in their composition. Proteases are enzymes that cut up other proteins. Through cross-linking of amino acids by a certain enzyme, …

INTERVIEW with BASSE STITTGEN
INTERVIEW with BASSE STITTGEN by Sophia Reißenweber, Amon Zänker & Charlotte Bolinski What are the benefits of protein-based bioplastics? I am generally not an expert for protein-based bioplastics. What interests me about the containing proteins are the resources like egg white, blood, or the different kinds of seeds like hemp seeds with which it is …
INTERVIEW with JASMIN BOSSE & SONIA GRIMMINGER from UBA
INTERVIEW with JASMIN BOSSE & SONIA GRIMMINGER from UBA by Sophia Reißenweber, Amon Zänker & Charlotte Bolinski In which area of application do they currently see the greatest potential for bioplastics as a substitute for petroleum-based plastics? In general, we take a critical view of the use of bioplastics. A distinction is made between „biobased“ …

GLUTA
GLUTA Application potentials of gluten-based bioplastics Gluten-based bioplastics have a wide range of applications, which has been proven with the help of diverse material experiments. In this way, foam-like structures and air cushions, gluten prints and composite materials could be produced. Due to the wide range of material properties such as high shock absorption and …
FLIP GONG
FLIP GONG the surprising sound of the BURG Our sound installation is meant to surprise and to give those who use it a sound experience that is fascinating and raises questions. The box is completely closed and you cannot see what is going on inside. From the outside, only the wooden front with a perforated …
