SLIMY FUTURES 0.1

'Slimy Futures' explores the potential use of bioplastics as a coating for bioleather. While Kombucha bioleather isn't water-resistant, combining its material properties with bioplastics could create a new material that could be used in innovative woven textiles for interior fabrics.

FERMENTATION PROCESS
MATERIALS: SYMBIOTIC COLONY OF BACTERIA & YEAST + SUGAR NUTRIENTS + ACETIC ACID + BLACK TEA
(Symbiotic colony of bacteria & yeast + C12H22O11 + CH3COOH + C6H12O6 x X months)
 BACTERIA FEEDS ONTO THE SUGAR NUTRIENTS, SPINNING SMALL NANO-FIBRES OF PURE CELLULOSE TOGETHER, FORMING A SHEET ON THE SURFACE OF THE LIQUID.
