Abstract


The objective of this project is to investigate the compound Pykrete. Pykrete is a combination of wood pulp with frozen water to create a concrete like substance hence the name “Pykrete.” Within the 10-week endeavor, we would like to further our knowledge of material science by exploring the strengths and weakness’s of different substances. And finally by researching, testing and analyzing, help those who seek it, a better understanding why compounds can provide a superior material to singular substances.
