Natalie: Embarking on the melody of sustainable materials, we explore the blend of bio-plastic and

eggshells. Our journey unfolds in two parts: the Biodegradability Test and the Water Absorption
Test, each revealing unique aspects of this harmonious combination.

Two Products:

1. **With Eggshells:** An embodiment of bio-plastic which is made from eco-friendly materials

with the incorporation of eggshells, introducing an additional layer of complexity to its composition
because it contains Calcium carbonate that will be an additive, for excellent malleability.

2. **Without Eggshells:** A simplest form of bio-plastic, free from the influence of eggshells,
representing the baseline for our comparative analysis.

**Tensile Test:**

The stage is set for a Tensile Test, a rigorous examination of the tensile strength of these bio-plastic
variants. This test aims to uncover how well each product withstands stretching forces, revealing
insights into their mechanical resilience and structural integrity.

**T-Test:**

To discern meaningful distinctions, we enlist the T-test – a statistical arbiter. This analytical tool
scrutinizes the tensile test data, determining whether observed differences in tensile strength between
the bio-plastics with and without eggshells are statistically significant. It unveils whether the
inclusion of eggshells induces a tangible impact on the mechanical properties of bio-plastics.

In summary, Chapter III unravels the mystery of eggshell inclusion in bio-plastics, elucidating the
divergences in tensile strength through rigorous testing and statistical scrutiny. The journey promises
to demystify the influence of eggshells on bio-plastic performance, offering valuable insights for
sustainable material development.

Hazel: water absorption in bio-plastic

**1. Water Absorption Test:**

Our journey begins with the water absorption test. Bio-plastic samples brave exposure to water or a
humid environment for a set duration. We weigh them before and after to capture the transformation.

Lenor: Now, let's navigate through the formula.

**2. Formula Explanation:**

Water Absorption (%): This represents the percentage increase in mass after water exposure. \(M1\)
is the initial mass, and \(M2\) is the mass after exposure.

Breaking it down: \( \frac{M2 - M1}{M1} \) calculates the relative change in mass, and \( \times 100
\) converts it into a percentage.

Noreen:**4. Effect of Eggshell:**

Enter the eggshell factor. Eggshells, included in our bio-plastic, may impact water absorption. They
could introduce porosity or affect water resistance.

**5. Interpretation:**

Higher percentages imply more water absorption, especially with eggshells. This insight is gold,
revealing how our bio-plastic behaves in moist environments—vital for packaging or outdoor
applications.

In essence, this formula gives us a numeric glimpse into how much water our bio-plastic absorbed.

John Michael: **1. Biodegradability Test:**

Our quest begins with the Biodegradability Test. We seek to understand how our bio-plastic,
enriched with the magic touch of eggshells, gracefully ages over time.

This formula calculates the Weight Loss Percentage, our metric for unraveling the bio-plastic's
secrets.

**2. Time Span:**

Our study spans four intervals: 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and a grand finale at 1 month. A timeline
dance to witness the life cycle of our creation.

Raylee: **3. T-Test:**

The T-Test takes the stage, our statistical maestro. Its mission: compare weight loss between these
time spans. Are the differences statistically significant, or just a dance of randomness?

**4. Interpretation:**

The Weight Loss Percentage tells a story. It's the proportion of our bio-plastic's initial weight bidding
farewell during the biodegradation waltz. Higher percentages mean a grander performance.

**5. Significance of Differences:**

The T-Test is our truth-seeker. Does the applause-worthy weight loss between time spans have
statistical significance?

Natalie: In summary, our study unlocks the eco-evolution of bio-plastic with eggshell allure.
