Focused on the analysis and fractal determination of the agglomerations of
chlorophytic microalgae, which a biological approach tends to be part of a
mechanism of adaptation to external adversities to the microalgae itself. The
ideal pressure and temperature at which the greatest number of
agglomerations occurred was determined under reologic tests, as well as the
structure of the junctions in optical microscopy and AFM, with which the
advantages and properties conferred by the unions of two or more microalgae.
Investigating this adaptation, its possible origin and its functionality will allow us
to base under a construction law its possible application to constructive
systems, imitating the biological adaptations of microalgae in unions or
conglomerations, for transport of fluids, heat or energy.
