Diluted '1μM' PVA solution with 0.031 absorbance: x=0.53879μM Since it was diluted two-fold, leftover concentration of supposed 1μM R6G solution after removing PVA film was 1.076μM. Diluted '10μM' PVA-Clay solution with 0.013 absorbance: Since it was diluted 100-fold, leftover concentration of dye solution was 15.09μM. Diluted '10μM' PVA solution with 0.031 absorbance: Since it was diluted 100-fold, leftover concentration of dye solution was 53.88μM. Diluted '20μM' PVA-Clay solution with 0.015 absorbance: Since it was diluted 200-fold, leftover concentration of dye solution was 38.79μM. Diluted '20μM' PVA solution with 0.065 absorbance: Since it was diluted 200-fold, leftover concentration of dye solution was 254.3μM. Note: when the solutions were prepared on Sept. 24, the stock concentration of R6G dye was incorrectly determined to be 159μM. Hence why our final concentration values are higher than the initial values. The initial stock concentration used on that date to make the soak solutions is to be determined next week Fluorescence data Using calibration curved from Oct.1: y=41351x−2198.8 Diluted '1μM' PVA clay solution had an integrated peak intensity of 14411.41: x=0.4017μM Since it was diluted two-fold, leftover concentration of supposed 1μM R6G solution after removing PVA-Clay film was 0.8034μM. Diluted '1μM' PVA solution with integrated peak intensity of 29332.226: x=0.7625μM Since it was diluted two-fold, leftover concentration of supposed 1μM R6G solution after removing PVA film was 1.525μM. Diluted '10μM' PVA-Clay solution with integrated intensity=4091.6224: Since it was diluted 100-fold, leftover concentration of dye solution was 15.21μM. Diluted '10μM' PVA solution with integrated intensity=14043.666: Since it was diluted 100-fold, leftover concentration of dye solution was 39.28μM.
