Making the Solutions

On Thursday, we started making the solutions that will be used for our research of Polystyrene (PS) thin film wrinkling.

The day started off with Jiangshui giving us some notes on how to make the PS solutions and to make sure that it was a certain concentration. More notes .....


We went to the lab and started making out solutions. The PS was massed and then dissolved in a certain amount of toluene to produce a solution of ~ 1.4%. Solution must be left to completely dissolve over a couple of hours.
