* In the original [[User:Matt Hartings/Notebook/AU Biomaterials Design Lab/2014/09/10|protocol]], the instruction called for vacuum filtration of our mixture, tributylhexadecylphosphonium bromide, through a 0.2μm nylon fiber. | |||
* A consensual decision was made that placing the mixtures in centrifuge would provide better results of separation. | |||
* The sample weighed the amount of 17.69 g. Addition of water was made to balance the viscous mixture, (1-hexadecyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide), from Eleni's group. The final weight was 27.42 g. | |||
* The mixture was centrifuged for 30 minutes at 4000 rpm, 4°C. The centrifuge used was the make of Thermo Scientific Sorvall RC 6+ Centrifufge. | |||
* The rotor chosen to perform the centrifuge was SH-3000 4700 max. | |||

* At 10:53 AM, samples were observed to have three distinct layers; top and bottom layer were clay, and the middle was composed of water/supernatant. | |||
* The supernatant was collected and transferred into a 50 mL falcon tube. This was stored if additional analysis was needed in the future. | |||
* Two sets of washes are required for the exchanged clay. Each wash comprised of washing the clay with water to remove adsorbed NaCl and ethanol to remove remaining surfactants. | |||
* After the washes were completed by Dr. Hartings, the mixture was stored in an oven to evaporate excess water. | |||

* Eleni Kalivas executed the introduction of the usage of the powder X-RAY diffraction instrument. The make of the instrument is by Rigaku MiniFlex II. | |||
* The parameters set for the data collection made via the Standard Measurement interface are as follows: | |||
** 2° start angle | |||
** 40° stop angle | |||
** 0.5 inch sampling width | |||
** 1°/minute scanning speed | |||
*** The original [[User:Matt Hartings/Notebook/AU Biomaterials Design Lab/2014/09/03|protocol]] stated a 1°/second scanning speed | |||
* Our group provided the blank PVA film which was placed in position 4. Other groups' PVA films were placed in the following order: | |||
** Position 1: Dr. Hartings' solid, sodium montmorillonite | |||
** Position 2: 8 ppm MG from Madeleine and Alicia | |||
** Position 3: group's 2 ppm MG | |||
** Position 5: 80 ppm MG from Melvin, Eleni, and Becca | |||
** Position 6: 200 ppm MG from Andrew, Michael, and Tami | |||

* This was performed by our group member, Jacob Esenther, following the [[User:Matt Hartings/Notebook/AU Biomaterials Design Lab/2014/08/29|Completion of Film Synthesis protocol]] from August 29, 2014. | |||
