Potential Uses

The bioplastic that I have developed is water-based, so unfortunately it shrinks, so it cannot be set and cast. There are still some potential uses for it, like films. And since it is (theoretically) a thermoplastic, you should be able to melt it and then cast it again without shrinkage occurring. With all being said, I have compiled a list of potential uses for bioplastic, along with my discovered properties.

Uses:

  1. Bean bag fillers

  2. Freezer bags

  3. Bags

  4. Anything that thin plastic can be used in

  5. Email me (charlienicholsonr@gmail.com) if you have any more suggestions!

Properties:

  1. Somewhat fireproof

  2. A little amount of waterproofness

  3. Can be frozen

  4. Thermoplastic

  5. Shrinks when dries

  6. Some types become Play-Doh when heated, and then set again
