<u>Acetone Trial</u> | |||
* PVA-Clay was not strong enough to hold a sphere but rather made string/fibers. This can be weaved into a sort of bead but this cannot be measured | |||
* James suggested that an organic phase such as hexane should enable the formation of beads. | |||
<u>Hexane Trial #1</u> | |||
* HCl is immiscible in Hexane, spherical constitution of beads was overall maintained. Upon adding to Glutaraldehyde, the beads did not stay together. | |||
* Used 250μL Gluteraldehyde in 10mL Hexane | |||

<u>Hexane Trial #2</u> | |||
* This time the Glutaraldehyde was rapidly stirred and the PVA-Clay solution was slowly dropped in. Bead formation was observed while stirring, however the beads were not given enough time to finish cross linking and stuck together. | |||
* Used 100μL Glutaraldehyde in 10mL Hexane | |||
<u>Hexane Trial #3</u> | |||
* Bigger container and more time in between drops in order to allow more time to cross linking. | |||
* 200μL Glutaraldehyde in 150mL Hexane | |||
<u>Hexane Trial #4</u> | |||
* Using a blender this time in attempt to make an emulsion. | |||
