Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication factors influencing mechanical, moisture- and water-related properties of mycelium-based composites
Freek V.W. Appels,Serena Camere,Maurizio Montalti,Elvin Karana,Kaspar M. B. Jansen,Jan Dijksterhuis,Pauline Krijgsheld,Han A. B. Wösten +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that mycelium-based composites can be tuned by varying type of substrate (straw, sawdust, cotton), fungal species (Pleurotus ostreatus vs. Trametes multicolor) and processing technique (no pressing or cold or heat pressing).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Foundations of Materials Experience: An Approach for HCI
Elisa Giaccardi,Elvin Karana +1 more
TL;DR: This paper articulates a framework of materials experience that discusses how materials shape ways of doing and ultimately, practice, and how this is rooted in the experience of those materials.
Journal Article
Material Driven Design (MDD): A Method to Design for Material Experiences
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method, Material Driven Design (MDD), to facilitate designing for material experiences, where the material is not only defined by what it is, but also for what it does, what it expresses to us, what elicits from us, and what it makes us do.
Material Considerations in Product Design : A Survey on Crucial Material Aspects Used by Product Designers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the material selection process in product design in order to find out what kinds of aspects of materials are significant for product designers in their selections, and the findings from the experiment were used for establishing a required data table representing the material considerations of designers in materials selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meanings of materials through sensorial properties and manufacturing processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on sensorial properties of materials (e.g., roughness, glossiness, transparency, etc.) and manufacturing processes such as polishing, joining, molding, etc) as effective aspects in meaning attribution.
