Here, a team of designers thought and properties that suggest different types of structure, surface, and about creating an alternative to the standard shopping bag. Their connection. In place of the abstraction of pure volumes or the whimsy of research involved open-ended brainstorming, observing consumers and “virtual” objects, this book encourages designers to make and test real workers, and experiencing the act of shopping in a critical way. They objects in a studio environment. made hands-on prototypes and tested them in real environments. Materials are like words.

There are no good or bad organized both to inspire and to inform. Although most of these materials. Each one has its place, consequences, and cost. Understanding materials are commonplace (rather than “smart” substances or exotic materials is essential to design. Some designers come to the profession mutants), each is packed with potential ideas. This section presents with a common-sense knowledge of materials, while others have only everyday uses of the materials, pointing out the special ways each thought about their decorative properties.

But when we say “inspired by materials,” we Many designers are thinking critically and creatively about materials— do not mean following the form of an existing object. We mean studying about where they come from, how they function, and where they end the properties and behavior of a physical substance in order to discover up at the end of a product’s life cycle. There is growing interest across and invent forms and solutions. society in physically making things and thus engaging with objects and Exploring Materials is a book for students, designers, artists, the environment in a direct way. The revitalization of craft has helped and anyone interested in making objects. The first chapter lays out our revitalize design. This book embraces this new wave of thinking and approach with a case study drawn from a classroom project. A group of making. We hope you will use it stimulate your own mind and to make designers were asked to solve a common problem (an object for sitting) your own ideas real.— Inna Alesina and Ellen Lupton using a particular material. Instead of beginning with an end result in 6 exploring materials using materials for inspiration biomimicry unlock ideas using materials for inspiration The projects shown on the following pages were created by design students at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). The goal of these experiments was to unlock creativity by exploring the unique properties of materials. Whereas traditional design methodologies focus on sketching, our approach emphasizes hands-on prototyping with three-dimensional structures. Thus the works shown here are not slick finished products (or glossy 3d renderings of slick finished products). Instead they are active, raw projects produced with real materials and real tools in a studio environment. To initiate these experiments, we asked a group of design students to address a particular problem: make a person comfortable while sitting. Naturally, each designer immediately began thinking about chairs. Then we asked them to put aside their ideas about chairs and focus instead on a particular material (foam, rope, wire, cardboard, metal rods, etc.). The designers explored each material, uncovering its properties as a surface, structure, and fastener. They could not rely on what they already knew about chairs: legs, back, seat, arms, and so on. By exploring materials rather than pursuing a preconceived end product, these designers began thinking in new ways. The best way to learn is by doing. In the exercises documented here, designers stated a problem and then solved it with a randomly assigned material. Try it yourself and see what ideas emerge. Then, change materials and try it again. See how your results are different. This exercise is a kind of game. It is also a tool for inventing, brainstorming, and generating ideas. You can apply it to any type of problem—not just creating an object, but planning a process, studying a system, or designing a space. Kids, artists, designers, and even business people can broaden their thinking with this technique. open mind. In response to the challenge to make a sitting structure with yarn, the designers created a new and unfamiliar object. Design: Maria Duke, MICA. 8 exploring materials unlock ideas 9 exploring molded foam In the experimental project shown here, the challenge was to use molded foam to make a structure for sitting. Thus the project did not focus on “designing a chair” as an end result; instead, it focused on understanding sitting, comfort, and shape in a broader way. It sounds easy to design a chair with foam, as this material is already associated with comfort and padding. However, the unique properties of molded foam can inspire surprising solutions. Foam comes in many forms. Urethane foam sheets are used for traditional padding and upholstery.

  • Extrusion Foaming of Bioplastics for Lightweight Structure in Food Packaging
    EXTRUSION FOAMING OF BIOPLASTICS FOR LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE IN FOOD PACKAGING A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sitthi Duangphet School of Engineering and Design Brunel University December 2012 i Abstract This thesis reports the systematic approaches to overcome the key drawbacks of the pure PHBV, namely low crystallisation rate, tensile strength, ductility, melt viscosity, thermal stability and high materials cost. The physical, mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties of the pure PHBV were studied systematically first to lay a solid foundation for formulation development. The influence of blending with other biopolymers, inclusion of filler, and chain extender additives in terms of mechanical properties, rheology, thermal decomposition and crystallization kinetics were then followed. Creating lightweight structures by foaming is considered to be one of the effective ways to reduce material consumption, hence the reduction of density and morphology of PHBV-based foams using extrusion foaming technique were studied comprehensively in terms of extrusion conditions (temperature profiles, screw speed and material feeding rate) and the blowing agent content. The material cost reduction was achieved by adding low-cost filler (e.g. CaCO3) and reduction of density by foaming. The thermal instability was enhanced by incorporation of chain extender (e.g. Joncryl) and blending with a high thermal stability biopolymer (e.g. PBAT). The polymer blend also improved the ductility. Adding nucleation agent enhanced the crystallization rate to reduce stickiness of extruded sheet. The final formulation (PHBV/PBAT/CaCO3 composite) was successfully extruded into high quality sheet and thermoformed to produce prototype trays in an industrial scale trial. The effect of the extrusion conditions (temperature profiles, screw speed and material feeding rate) and the blowing agent content are correlated to the density reduction of the foams.

  • Report to the Vermont Cheese Council
    MAKERS & MONGERS Exploring Social Networks in the Regional Supply Chain for Vermont Artisan Cheese Prepared for: The Vermont Cheese Council By: Rachel A. DiStefano, M.S., Food Systems, University of Vermont Dr. Amy B. Trubek, University of Vermont June, 2014 I. Executive Summary Three major themes emerged from the social network analysis of supply networks for Vermont artisan cheese: types of relationships, varieties of retail operation, and importance of distributors. The results indicate that the regional supply chain is a multiplex system stemming from a complex balance between a cheesemaker’s goals and the needs of various retailers. Relationships: The relationships between cheesemakers and retailers ranged from highly social and personal to distanced and business minded. The social network is clustered around several well-connected cheesemakers and retailers. The scale of production and number of years in business influences a cheesemaker’s centrality in the social network. Retail: The majority of Vermont cheesemakers sell to retailers both inside and outside of Vermont. Vermont cheesemakers rely on a diverse variety of retail venues – from ultra-local general stores to large national supermarket chains – across the region. Food cooperatives, primarily in Vermont, emerged as highly central in the social network. The consistent champions of Vermont cheese outside of Vermont appear to be small specialty retailers – either dedicated cheese shops or gourmet food stores. Distributors: Distributors play crucial roles as intermediaries between cheesemakers and retailers. When distributors become involved in selling Vermont artisan cheese, cheesemaker-retailer relationships often resemble a sales network rather than a social network. Page 2 II. Background Why do people like Vermont artisan cheese? What makes it unique, desirable, and good to eat? Previous research with consumers has demonstrated that social information related to where and how Vermont artisan cheese is made is important—not just for preference but for physiological sensory experience.

  • Biodegradable Packaging Materials from Animal Processing Co-Products and Wastes: an Overview
    polymers Review Biodegradable Packaging Materials from Animal Processing Co-Products and Wastes: An Overview Diako Khodaei, Carlos Álvarez and Anne Maria Mullen * Department of Food Quality and Sensory Science, Teagasc Food Research Centre, Ashtown, Dublin, Ireland; [email protected] (D.K.); [email protected] (C.Á.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +353-(1)-8059521 Abstract: Biodegradable polymers are non-toxic, environmentally friendly biopolymers with con- siderable mechanical and barrier properties that can be degraded in industrial or home composting conditions. These biopolymers can be generated from sustainable natural sources or from the agri- cultural and animal processing co-products and wastes. Animals processing co-products are low value, underutilized, non-meat components that are generally generated from meat processing or slaughterhouse such as hide, blood, some offal etc. These are often converted into low-value products such as animal feed or in some cases disposed of as waste. Collagen, gelatin, keratin, myofibrillar proteins, and chitosan are the major value-added biopolymers obtained from the processing of animal’s products. While these have many applications in food and pharmaceutical industries, a sig- nificant amount is underutilized and therefore hold potential for use in the generation of bioplastics. This review summarizes the research progress on the utilization of meat processing co-products to fabricate biodegradable polymers with the main focus on food industry applications. In addition, the factors affecting the application of biodegradable polymers in the packaging sector, their current industrial status, and regulations are also discussed.
