First of all if you think that my question should go somewhere else please move it, I am not exactly sure where it belongs so if you think it should go so somewhere else please do so.
Hi my name is Daniel and I have been thinking about doing the google science fair for a while. So here is the only idea i could come up with which seemed like there was't a complete solution to.
In my house in the bathtub we use silicone to insulate the gaps. A problem is that after a few months it changes into a black colour.
So the idea I have is to make something in which this silicone will not or not so quickly develop mildew or mold. I haven't done much research yet but after my exams I planning to start doing actual research as to how I can make something which can resist or stop mold forming on the rubber silicone while not losing it's other properties.
Do you think my idea is even possible? If so is it a good one? Where can/should I start ? This is the first time I am trying to do a science fair project which is not something that more or less already has an answer to, so just about any advise would be very helpful.
Thank You very much!!!!
P.S I have not set a time limit on myself but I hope to have something by September when the Google Science Fair starts.
