Objective

  1. Set up diluted solutions of functionalized gold nanoparticles with java ferns
  2. Create films of cellulose

Protocol

The gold nanoparticles crashed out of solution during functionalization, so they couldn't be used for java fern testing. Instead, UV Vis was taken to see if any of the nanoparticles stayed in solution to be capped.

I made the cellulose film using the following method:
1%w of hydroxyethyl cellulose 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 cellulose cross-linking.

Notes

This area is for any observations or conclusions that you would like to note.


Use categories like tags. Change the "Course" category to the one corresponding to your course. The "Miscellaneous" tag can be used for particular experiments, as instructed by your professor. Please be sure to change or delete this tag as required so that the categories remain well organized. [[Category:Miscellaneous]
