Updates
- Films must be boiled off in oven in plastic white dishes
- Hoping to use the lyophilizer in the future
- New variance of AuNP concentrations were made using both salts: trifilate and LiBH4
- NP a lot darker (larger nanoparticles)
- Data results are still questionable
- I don't know how to read it??
Objective
Description
- Films
- There are two types of films. Those made with Trifilate and those made with BF4Li. Films contain 5mg, 10mg, 15mg, or 20mg of gold.
- A solution containing AuNPs solution, PEO, Li Salt, and H2O were mixed and the PEO was allowed to dissolve.
- They are being dried in the oven until most, if not all the H2O, has been removed
- They are then removed from their plastic dish and massed into 0.5g portions
- Each portion is then put in the hot press to produce a film
