1. Effects of BPO on Boron
Nitride UK 5 and UK 10 in
Water

2. Repeat the experiment using BPO
because the BPO I used last time
was contaminated.

3. Procedure
- 4.4 mg of Boron Nitride
- 5 mL of water
- 15 mg of BPO
- Bath sonicated for 30 minutes

22. Thin film
I tried to make the thin film using the same
procedure from Steve, but this time I did not
dilute the PVDF solution. The thin film came out
better, thicker, and stronger; however, the thin
film shrinked. I was able to measure the
conductivity of the thin film, and it was about
5.6-7.8 MΩ.

23. Thin film
- 6 mg of G3243
- 5 mL of Heptane
- 5 mL of water
- used around 2 mL of PVDF

24. Future work
I’m going to try casting different concentration
of the PVDF on the thin film. The thin film I
made the first time was too thin, and the
second time was thick but it shrinked. I think It
will be better if I try to dilute a different amount
of PVDF in DMAC.
