The next generation of plastics is in development in Fargo. Specifically, these are plant-based plastics. And giant corporations are funding these future bioplastics, thinking they’ll eventually wind up as standards in everyday products. mprnews.org/story/2019/11/05…

Someone was concerned if biocomposites are paintable; so thanks to my awesome graduate student, we got a can of paint and painted couple of samples right before our talk. Thank you, Sam! @CB2_4U @ISU_ME

One of our @WSUPullman REU interns was thinking about research over the #4thofJuly! Pie crust contains starch (a natural poly-saccharide), so it's more or less an edible bio-polymer.... #delicious #pie
