OBJECTIVES Continue to clean, filter, and separate out the oil from the previously prepared microspheres on 2/22/13 Prepare more microsphere samples expanding upon new previous method developed (new modifications) PVOH 146K Prepared Microsphere Samples & Dye Preparations 4 RECALL MICROSPHERE PREPARATION PROTOCOL ON 2/20/13 1μM Rhodamine 6G Dye Concentration (90:10) M1V1 = M2V2 1μM (RG6)x 10mL = (92μM)V2 V2 = 109μL 1μM Rhodamine 6G Dye Concentration (50:50) M1V1 = M2V2 1μM (RG6)x 10mL = (165μM)V2 V2 = 61μL PVOH vs. Clay Ratio Clay Selection PVOH 146K Mass (g) Actual Clay Mass (g) H2O Added (mL) Dye Concentration (μM) Dye Amount Added (μL) 50:50 110% CEC NaMT w/ DMHXLBR 0.05010 0.05100 40 165 61 90:10 110% CEC NaMT w/ DMHXLBR 0.01070 0.09100 40 92 109 PVOH 130K Prepared Microsphere Samples & Dye Preparations RECALL MICROSPHERE PREPARATION PROTOCOL ON 2/20/13 1μM Rhodamine 6G Dye Concentration (90:10) M1V1 = M2V2 1μM (RG6)x 10mL = (92μM)V2 V2 = 109μL 1μM Rhodamine 6G Dye Concentration (50:50) M1V1 = M2V2 1μM (RG6)x 10mL = (165μM)V2 V2 = 61μL PVOH vs. Clay Ratio Clay Selection PVOH 130K Mass (g) Actual Clay Mass (g) H2O Added (mL) Dye Concentration (μM) Dye Amount Added (μL) 50:50 110% CEC NaMT w/ DMHXLBR 0.05070 0.05130 40 165 61 90:10 110% CEC NaMT w/ DMHXLBR 0.01090 0.09340 40 92 109 Notes Unfortunately, DSC samples were not taken before the Rhodamine 6G dye was added to each sample; therefore, these samples must be remade.
