Make a bioplastic
- We are in the process extracting the PLA using traditional chemical methods. This will allow us to characterization the compound. Our goal is to melt the PLA, and place it into a mold spelling out the word Yale.
This PLA "Y" is for demonstration purposes only.
It was not made from PLA extracted from E. coli. It was 3D printed using commercially available PLA.
