During the second week's lab we collected some materials, asked our TA about what machines would be useful for testing or product in the Machine Shop, and did some research on the creation of bioplastics.
The resources collected were a hot plate that will be used to heat the plastic, a nonstick pan, and a spatula required to mix the plastic. The machine needed for our testing is a Tensile Strength Tester for plastic. Through our research we found out the basics of plastic chemistry including how the properties relate to the reactants used. We also found out that there is no reaction in the process of making the bioplastic.
