Utveckling av Biobaserade Material : En Materialdriven Designmetod med Hästkastanjer, Hampa och Ull (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

This study aims to develop bio-based materials using locally sourced horse chestnuts, reinforced with hemp and wool. The goal is to explore and identify suitable applications for these materials within product design by taking a material driven approach. Material understanding and user participation play a pivotal role, as the notion of material experience will shape the design process. Sustainable development and the necessity to shift to a circular economy underpin the study, as it promotes bio-based materials from renewable resources. The outcome is a sound-absorbing panel that showcases the technical properties of the materials while reflecting users’ involvement through the use of biomimicry. This project highlights the potential of material driven design in creating bio-based materials, while also critically reflecting on its limitations.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie syftar till att utveckla biobaserade material med hjälp av lokala hästkastanjer, förstärkta med hampa och ull. Målet är att utforska och identifiera lämpliga tillämpningar för dessa material inom produktdesign genom att ta ett materialdrivet tillvägagångssätt. Materialförståelse och användarmedverkan spelar en central roll, eftersom begreppet materialupplevelse kommer att forma designprocessen. Hållbar utveckling och nödvändigheten av att gå över till en cirkulär ekonomi stöder studien, eftersom den främjar biobaserade material från förnybara resurser. Resultatet är en ljudabsorberande panel som visar upp materialens tekniska egenskaper samtidigt som den reflekterar användarnas engagemang genom användning av biomimik. Detta projekt belyser potentialen hos materialdriven design för att skapa biobaserade material, samtidigt som de kritiskt reflekterar över dess begränsningar.
