On average, hydrogels with NaMT clays had a higher absorbance than the hydrogels prepared with lamponite clays. Similarly, the higher molecular weight PVA hydrogels exhibited higher absorbance values, indicating these hydrogels are better at exerting/responding to sheer pressure). |
| + | *Similar to the bent pipette, the concentration of Rhodamine 6G in the samples is extremely low in comparison to the 0.25μM Rhodamine 6G control, with the highest absorbance value of 9.204 observed in the 50:50 ratio of PVA MW 130,000:NaMT in comparison to the highest absorbance value of 606.17999 in the Rhodamine 6G 0.25μM. Another procedure that will exert more sheer pressure will be determined. A new method for the preparation of hydrogels will be considered where a single layer of clay will be incorporated into the hydrogel rather than having clay distributed throughout the hydrogel. | ||
