The Science Behind It:
The sodium alginate/calcium lactate mixture will create a chemical reaction that will create a "bubble" layer around the water. The water will remain in liquid form within the bubble. You are able to hold the bubble filled with water.
Conclusions:
In conclusion, based on our experiment it does appear possible to create a bio-degradable water bottle. However, the bubble layer we were able to create, which surrounds the water, was not strong enough or durable enough to withstand average, every day handling.
