Create foam easily by simply baking it – without plastic

University: University of Vienna

Objective of study: Polymer foams made of cellulose, which are manufactured without plastic

Process and applications:

Goal is to develop polymer foams made from cellulose and using a biological gas production method
Creating foam organically means using yeast
Yeast produces CO2, which in turn breaks down the sugar from the cellulose, causing it to foam
Yeast produces carbon dioxide in the process, which in turn creates a foam consisting of cellulose fibers

Benefits:

The material is generally interesting for environmentally friendly packaging materials,
