Objectives

  1. Make PVOH/clay films in order to run FTIR and X-ray.
  2. Run both modified and unmodified pressure testing on microspheres with dye added.
  3. Prepare DSC samples of all decanted and dried microspheres.


Film Preparation

  • PVA/clay films were prepared in order to run examine these films using FTIR and X-ray. These films will be compared to the hydrogel and microsphere samples in order to determine the difference between the prepared PVA/clay structures.
  • The films were prepared using the same PVA/clay ratio as that of the prepared microspheres and hydrogels.
  • The General Protocol for PVOH film preparation described on 2012/08/29 was used
