# Week 7: Transforming

This week we dive into materials and how to make your own bioplastics. The assignment of this week is to make your own bioplastics and use the Material Driven Design (MDD)-method to come up with future applications.&#x20;

_Core concepts: materials research, circularity, material driven design, material aesthetics_



**What: Make your own bioplastics and use the MDD-method to come up with future applications.**&#x20;

1. **Make your own bioplastics. Try various recipes, add other materials, play with textures and use your mold. Document your process and findings.**
2. **Material properties sheet: Describe the properties of your material**&#x20;
3. **Experiential toolkit: Understand the experience of your material**&#x20;
4. **Future applications: Develop a concept for future applications**

After the plastic came right back out of the boiling water it seemed more breakable, but it was a matter of seconds till it was back in "normal" state. The surface seemed to expented in the boiling water.&#x20;

In normal tap water nothing really changed.

## 4. Future applications
