Hi all,

I'm about to do a project on biopolymers. the task is to make a biopolymer based on sugar types.
A polymer which can be used for injection molding (in relation with tensile strength etc.).

I can honestly say that I haven't found any good recipes for this kind of use.
Therefor I'm asking you, if you know any good "synthesis/recipes" for making a good biopolymer.
I'm not restricted to specific 'raw materials', and materials that aren't in stock at school can be ordered  ( )

Any synthese/recipe that produces a biopolymer which can be (injection)molded into a shape is more than welcome! I will keep you up-to-date with pictures.

Many thanks,

LOL. Isn't starch a sugar-based polymer?

Yep

yeah

 I wonder if starch can be made into a solid cast.

I wonder if starch can be made into a solid cast.

maybe with the right glue  

but do you know an article or a prescription? (for a more complex biopolymer)
