Polymeric resins currently being used by Tecton as well as those being developed by NDSU were and are continuing to be mechanically tested and compared for performance as plastics and composites. Strategies for scaling up polymeric resin manufacturing were developed and equipment was built at NDSU to start synthesizing larger quantities over the next year of the project. The high renewable based composites will ultimately be tested and compared on an industrial scale in performance against current industrially produced composites as a major step towards commercialization.
