Primary Goal: Use de novo proteins to create bioplastics that can be 3D printed and will have highly tunable mechanical properties.
Broader Impacts: This work provides new routes for creating synthetic bioplastics, circumventing the need for breaking bioplastics from naturally derived sources and opening up new avenues for making novel materials for implantable and medical device applications.
