Reflection
Our team is really a tightly combined team. The leader assigned the work clearly and fairly and as a leader he cared each member of his team giving them help in time. Also every member of the team did a great job, they got their assignment in time with high quality, which made the cooperation surprisingly smooth and pleasure.
For searching some properties of those material in the laboratory, we had to find some new ways to get the properties we need. We asked a few teachers and all lead to the SciFinder, then we successfully get an account and learn how to use it in this program and also for our further study. It really took us some time to get used to this searching engine and when we got familiar to it, we loved it, its simple and tidy appearance and detailed and rich outcome are exactly what we wanted.
Here is every members' reflection:
- I reviewed my work done in the applied chemistry lab by this poster and explored a method to improve its physical drawback. This poster leaves me a profound impression about PLA and help me master the academic graphic capability
- I did the searching job, and found a new searching engine, it really works and helps me accomplish this mission efficienctly and successfully. This program helps me have a more deep understanding of the materials of PLA and PBS and help me have a great communication practice.
- At the first time we search for the material. We decided to get them through online shopping. But it is pretty hard. To get the material easier, our team leader, Sun Zhiyuan joined a research project in our school. So we can get the material and do experiments. In this program, we learned how to cooperate with others better.
- I am in charge of the application aspect. The PLA has been used wildly in many years, until now it has developed into various related materials. So this part is very complicated. In order to make the part clear, i only choose biological materials part to do detailed introduction, which is the latest and most advanced. It still has other applications.
- From this project, I have leant how to clarify relevant information from different literature and I think I did particularly well in the description of the main processing routes and manufacturing methods of the mixture of PLA and PBS. Next time when doing similar projects, I would try to read more literature from a variety of resources and take notes where relevant before starting to describe and give conclusions.
