Progress made until now

Hey,

We’re now entering mid-semester and there had been some progressed in my research. On the last blog, I said we had some problems on the experiments because the products we get  weren’t just right. So after investigating what went wrong, we found out that the solvent was impured and that’s why we were getting a different reaction. Once we have fixed that problem, the products we got were the right ones.

Now we’re trying on different types of solvents to add to the original to see if we get the nanoparticles smaller. sofar we’ve tried with three solvents but we haven’t got any success. If I had to scale the achievment so far in a scale from 1-5, I would probably scale it a 3 because we could find the problem that was preventing us to get the right products but we still can’t find the right solvent to make the particles smaller.

I’ll keep you informed of what happen next.

Take care.
