IUP chemist grows idea of biodegradable plastics |
|
When Keith Kyler decided to return to academia two years ago from a career in industry, the Butler County native began to think of ways he could use his chemistry background to benefit Western Pennsylvania -- and the world.
"I came up with this idea -- albeit a very bold one -- to develop in this part of the state a full-scale manufacturing plant for the production of biodegradable plastics," said Kyler, a chemistry professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
