A thin coat of flexible glass around lightweight biodegradable material (like paper) might work - it is lightweight, nonreactive, not brittle or dangerous but might be somewhat more expensive to manufacture.
- chongli 2y agoThat would be amazing. I'm not sure how that would be possible though. Soda lime glass, our most commonly used glass, has a melting point that begins at 700C (~1300F) and doesn't become very workable until much higher temperatures than that! This is far too hot to be anywhere near most ordinary kinds of paper. Other glasses have much higher melting points than that, with fused silica melting at 2200C!
