SIDI x BOLT THreads Biomaterials Exploration

Using mostly household items, can we create a bio-polymer that sparks excitement and creativity?

Explore our creations:

A moldable, sculptable grape putty that air-dries.


A Glycerine and Agar material that can be poured in a mold. It is flexible and mostly transparent.


Firm carve-able solid made from whipped egg whites.


A clay and agar solid that can be poured into a mold and dried.


Corn Starch & Feldspar Clay

Natural Cincinnati clay in a corn-starch based bioplastic.


A flexible foam material made from tree pulp derivatives.


Wood Ash Composite

Wood-ash bioplastic.


Eggshell Composite

Rigid, crumbly material from egg shells.


A backlog of other conducted experiments that were not brought into the next phase.
