Today I presented our research on sustainable plastics. Kasia prepared PHB samples with beautiful spherulites visible to the naked eye or using a polarised microscope. Dominic provided interesting images of polymer crystals from his simulations. @Strath_ChemEng @RSmallScience
Day 2 of the @Strath_ChemEng #YoungStrathclyder Accelerate challenge and the pupils have been focusing on sustainability, making plastic from seaweed, and looking at engineering applications. @StrathEng

Made a coffee with soy milk earlier and it curdled pretty badly - remembered @DrKarenJohnston produced a paper that showed how to fix the curdling and problem solved! I love it when academia has impacts on everyday life.
