Project Summary
Original Protocol
"Quick" Protocol (15 min Synthesis)
Filtration ProtocolI conducted vacuum filtration once using a membrane filter (Supor-450, 47mm, 0.45μm). This worked to separate the gels from the solution, however do not leave the product on the membrane to dry--it will get stuck the membrane. Summary of Syntheses Attempted
Determining Sol-Gel formation factors
