| Abstract | Today, thinking on sustainable artifacts become an obligation for companies oriented to sensitive and cultured market. Particular attention should be addressed towards the selection of materials compatible with natural cycle in order to accomplish also the necessity for "cradle to cradle" strategies. The material selection involves the definition of the raw material (natural or synthetic) and the resulting environmental impact when it returns to nature. In this view, bio-plastics appear particularly interesting for the environmental compatibility. Despite the reliable conditions, bio-plastics still struggling to be used in place of synthetic polymers on the commodities market, likely for problem of acceptance related to their lack of awareness and identity on which the people have small experience. The research aims at contributing to the investigation of bioplastics in order to allowing them in acquiring their own recognizable identity. In other words, we contribute to the affirmation of intangible features of matter defining the interaction between user and materials. Hence, industry can afford the whole potential of the studied bioplastics, well beyond the mere environmental advantage. The method is founded on the critical analysis on both aesthetic and processing point of view, to grasp the peculiar characteristics to design and to enhance. The configuration of its own identity is no more something defined a priori respect to design work, but it is the result of a dynamic relationship among three polarities: its own technical-aesthetic area, its own communication potential, and its own potential applications. To the purpose, a particular biopolymer has been considered, Arboform®, as a case study and as an occasion for considerations potentially useful for other biopolymers. The creative part accomplished the realization of both performances and sensorial profiles of the studied material. Finally we propose potential scenarios for both the substitutive and novel applications with the aim of assess the likeness of applying such advantageous materials in common applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
