Living Building Materials Class Project[edit]

Hi Wikipedians! We (myself, Lauren burr, TahsinRPI, Jankoj2, Samichya1) are a group of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute students working on a WikiEd project for our Biology in Materials Science course. We intend to expand this article to include the synthesis/fabrication, properties, and uses of the three main examples of living building materials: self-mending biocement, self-replicating concrete, and mycelium-based composites. More updates to come soon!

Very cool. Have fun, and feel free to bring any questions you may have here. I'll be following your work! François Robere (talk) 21:49, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Wikipedians! Just as an update we have made outlines of the expansions we mentioned in our first update involving synthesis/fabrication, properties and uses of the three main examples of living building materials. We also plan on adding a history section, an advantages and disadvantages section, and further applications section on living building materials. Thanks for reading and let us know if you have any thoughts or critiques! — Preceding unsigned comment added by TahsinRPI (talk • contribs) 18:26, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

Hi folks! I've added in a "History" section per our outline, detailing the origins of the field and major sources of progress and funding in the United States and United Kingdom. Excited for feedback! Kfbrigham (talk) 18:46, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Self-Replicating concrete[edit]

Hello everyone, I plan on adding the section on self-replicating concrete within the next few days. I elaborate on the formation, mechanical properties, and potential uses for the material. Let me know of any feedback. Jankoj2 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:03, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! I just went live with the Self-Replicating concrete section. Let me know of any feedback! Jankoj2 (talk) 19:23, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
