It's hard to believe my time in Charleston is quickly coming to an end. That means things in the lab are also wrapping up. The oxidation of my molecule on a five gram scale was finished by acid base extraction techniques.
We decided to also do the reaction on a 10 gram scale. That way the two can be combined as if the reaction was run on a 15 gram scale. This way a large polymer can hopefully be created by the end of the week.
A GPC was run on a previous sample that was run in the MARS and presented some really great results. It seems as if the perfect conditions to run the polymerizations in the MARS have been found!
I will have a busy last couple of days but I am excited to see the results from them!
