Abstract
Jillian Bulter, a biomedical engineering major, became involved in a research project at VCU focused on developing biodegradable plastics to replace single-use plastics in dental clinics. Collaborating with Dr. Eser Tüfekçi and Dr. Todd Kitten, the team tested the effectiveness of these novel plastics in preventing bacterial contamination. Although initial results indicated the need for further development, the project represents a significant step towards more sustainable dental practices.
