| ===== Day eight =====
(10:00 am) chris tried out shaving EPS into acetone to see if we could recreate the cloudy disolved solution of acetone, eps and distilled water, the solution turned cloudy but not as much as before.. so is not in the fume cupbaord to see what happens. also have tried plating out the 10g M.A. plate then sprinkling "sugar" polystyrene onto the surface rather than mixing it into the agar, so far this has produced good results as the sugar has remained just under the surface of the agar rather than sinking to the bottom, making it easier and more cost effective as less glass wear is needed. Step one: measuer out 0.50g of the sugar polystyrene on a 0.00 balance using a measuering paper receptical, making sure to zero after adding the recepical before pooring the polystyrene. Step two: make sure your agar has been melted, and your petridish is slightly warmed in the hybridiser so the small amount of agar we are using does not set strait away. Step three: place the empty pre labled petridish onto the blanace and zero. After this poor 9.50g of the heated M.A Agar into the petrisish and remove from the balance to a level table, Setp four: sprinkle the sugar polystyrene onto the agar making sure you have a even spread, replace the lid and allow to cool. We noticed after the sprinking, then agar set quickly, resulting in a thin layer of the polystyrene at the surface of the dish, which is what we were trying to achieve. (11:00am) Chris and will are now going to try and gentally heat polystryene sugar to see if we can form it into more of a liquid to then work with, as this could be easily spread into a thin layer. |
