Corn Starch Composite
Corn starch is a cheap and abundant polymer that can be used to bind different disaggregated particles, like shredded textile fibers. Composite materials made from corn starch and textiles can be used for different applications and some of their features are appealing visual and tactile textures, sound absorption, light weight, and solubility in water.
In this downloadable PDF you will find the list of INGREDIENTS, RATIOS AND QUANTITIES, the INSTRUCTIONS to create this material, some examples of WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH IT, and HOW TO RECYCLE THE MATERIAL AT THE END OF LIFECYCLE.
This biomaterial recipe was developed during 2022 and 2023 as part of my MFA experimentation on sustainable binders for repurposing textile waste into circular materials. It has been adapted from open source and/or traditional material recipes that use biobased, biodegradable or living ingredients.
