Week 3 – Friday update

I am still working on successfully replicating our beads as film. It’s harder that I thought since they need to have the same thickness and consistency as our dry beads

I began making more LDH-infused chitosan beads to use for our jar tests

We let the beads naturally dry for a few days and store them in airtight containers until needed.

Here’s the film after it was placed in our base solution. We dissolve our chitosan flakes in HCl then precipitate it in NaOH to make our beads/films.

A bonus video of an ASU squirrel for Shannon!
