Molecular biology

  • ELP characterization
    • Test of polymere formation

      To get the thread of polymers we have tested in different polymers we observed the following results :
      - Sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) to 320g / L fiber => a fluffy appearance that does not take.
      - Diethyl ether (C2H5) 2O  no reaction because the drop is trapped we are finding that the solvent is immiscible.
      - Acetone (CH3COCH3) we observe the formation of a white ring.
      - Sodium chloride (NaCl 5M) hot  observation of a white cloud, which is due to a problem of cohesiveness.
      - Calcium chloride (CaCl2 15%)  we do a mixture of 1.25% alginate and ELP 40 (10 mg / ml)  fiber forming a perfect white.


      NB: test 0.75% of alginate PERFECT!

    • Test of transition

      After obtaining the fiber ELP 40 it is necessary to wash with hot water and extract; fiber may dissolve cold.
      - The control is transparent
      - The fiber changes color on contact at room Temperature, passing from white to transparent


      With the mixture Alginate ELP 40 + (10mg / L) we can observe the formation of the polymer and we can infer that :
      - In the presence of salt = the product disintegrates
      - In contact with water this contracts = warm


    • Wetspenning
    • Mechanical test :
      The traction machine can measure the degree of resistance to the breakage of any material.
      This experiment involves placing a small bar of the material to be studied between the jaws of a tensile testing machine that draws on the bar until it breaks. Elongation was recorded and the force applied, which is then converted into stress and strain.
  • Mechanical traction device

    The mechanical tests allow us to say :
    1. - Alginate is reproducible but ends up breaking after a time t
      - Alginate breaks faster due to the fact that it was realized hot
      - We see a similar pattern, just an anomaly on the curve of a slip of paper without doubts.
    2. - Elasticity similar to that of Carbon nano which is due to the presence of polymers, so we have a very obvious ELP particular feature.
      - Fragile fibers that break easily

      Sample 10mg
      Breaks quickly because there MAYBE too much material, so the sample 2-3, 10-1 are not taken into account for the results!
  • 2nd mechanical tests

    Different samples of ELP
    Sample 1.2 = with more alginate  we don’t notice anything important, it breaks fast
    1.1 => resisted longer before breaking but there is an anomaly that is the glue that gives this end there
    1.1 B => Strange results due to different conditions of drying?
