# Cut and weigh out ~ 280 - 320mg of PVOH film sample to place in the Tzezo pan | |||
# Once each sample is placed in the pan, then place the lid onto the pan | |||
# Use a Tzero press to secure and press the lid tightly over top the sample within the pan | |||
# Open TA instrument explorer on computer. Select instrument to be used(in this case DSC) | |||

To Collect the information from the DSC: | |||
# Click on export data file command | |||

# Accept values established by integrating the peaks | |||
# Click the analyze data command again to assign the glass transition value | |||

Objectives
PVOH(MW 130,000) Films
Prepared PVOH(MW 130,000) Films
Note:Complete dissolution of the PVOH required a longer amount of stirring(~2hours) and the addition of more deionized H2O. To prompt complete dissolution, solutions were transferred to larger beakers(~50mL) with larger amounts of H2O. Crosslinking PVOH FilmsStandard Protocol for Crosslinking of films:
Crosslinked PVOH Films:
Solubility of PVOH FilmsGeneral Protocol:
Viscosity of uncrosslinked PVOH(MW 22,000) 15wt% maleic acid
DSC on PVOH FilmsDSC will be used to determine the different thermal transitions of the various films General Protocol for DSC:
