Objective
- Set up diluted solutions of functionalized gold nanoparticles with java ferns
- Create films of arabinogalactan
Protocol
The nanoparticles crashed out, again. So we did more research on how to prevent the nanoparticles from crashing out in the future.
I made the arabinogalactin cross-linked film using the following method:
1%w of hydroxyethyl cellulose, 0.5%w of arabinogalactan, and 0.5%w of citric acid was dissolved in 25mL of water, poured in a plastic dish, and left to dry in a 40 °C oven overnight in order to evaporate the water. The next day, it was placed in the oven for 7 minutes at 165 °C to finish the cross-linking.
