Capstone Abstract by MIGUEL ANGELO S. LUCERNAS https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra en-us 2023-09-12 00:29:25 UTC 2023-09-14 02:02:56 UTC hello@padlet.com 1. What topic does your paper cover? miguellucernas120087 https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700796294 Our topic covers the creation of vegan leather as a substitute to animal leather. This version of vegan leather would be created with the waste of mango and banana. ]]> 2023-09-13 00:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700796294 2. What is the key research question? In one sentence, state the problem. miguellucernas120087 https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700797970 The key research question is how to produce vegan leather products from fruit waste, specifically from banana and mango waste.]]> 2023-09-13 00:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700797970 3. Summarize why nobody else has adequately answered the research question yet. Emphasize the GAP in the literature. miguellucernas120087 https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700812327 While there has been vegan leather made from different materials such as mycelium, a mushroom. There has been a lack of natural fiber in the existing vegan leather samples. On the other hand, bananas and mangoes are superior in fiber content.]]> 2023-09-13 00:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700812327 4. What's your big new idea? Explain how you have approached the research question. miguellucernas120087 https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700821900 Through the use of the mango and banana waste for the creation of vegan leather, there will now be a more fibrous version of vegan leather. This gives an option to fashion designers an option to be more environmentally friendly while still creating great products. A great opportunity for farmers also exists should a high demand of vegan leather products come about.]]> 2023-09-13 00:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700821900 5. Did you run experiments? Carry out case studies? Interviews? In one sentence, describe how you will do the research. miguellucernas120087 https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700825703 We are yet to run experiments, but case studies of existing vegan leather materials have been carried out. Soon, we will carry out the research through the creation of the material.]]> 2023-09-13 00:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700825703 6. What is the key impact of your research? What conclusions can you draw and what are the implications? What will be the primary take-home message. miguellucernas120087 https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700831433 The key impact of our research would be the positive environmental impacts thanks to our vegan leather material. Through our research, a new idea of more environmentally friendly materials could be generated.]]> 2023-09-13 00:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucernas120087/p9lr8uoho9jcd5ra/wish/2700831433
