'''Observations''' | |||
*In order to have a complete and even spread of dye, a glass stirring rod was used to mix the hydrogels. | |||
*Before addition of DMSO/dye, the hydrogels were allowed to cool slightly. | |||
*Hydrogels with NaMT added did not have as even of a distribution of dye. Upon addition, the dye seemed to sit on top of the hydrogel. Extra stirring was required for these hydrogels. | |||
<br> | |||
==Clay Preparation== | |||
*Surfactant clay exchanges were performed to create a 50% exchanged clay between NaMT and Bu<sub>3</sub>HdP and 110% exchange between NaMT and Lamponite. | |||
*The general protocol for the preparation of 50% exchanged NaMT described on [[User:Moira_M._Esson/Notebook/CHEM-581/2012/09/12|2012/09/12]] was followed. | |||
*For the preparation of 110% exchanged NaMT and 110% exchanged Lamponite please refer to Karlena Brown's lab notebook. | |||
