Week 4 Update

• We created a solution of polyallimine / UD90 (milled nanodiamonds) and attempted to make it more viscous by evaporating the water with a vacuum pump.  Unfortunately, putting it in the vacuum pump for a long period of time caused the nanodiamonds to clump as well as evaporate the water.
• We created another solution of  polyallimine / UD90 and will attempt to spin it next week, after evaporating the water in short bursts and rotating the solution each time.

Hello World!

This is the blog for Drexel Engineering 103, Group 045-02.  Our names are David Freiberg and Noah Watson.  Our project (at least at this point) is to find a way of electrospinning a composite solution with nanodiamonds distributed throughout to strengthen it.  In future posts, we'll have bios, pictures, text updates, backgrounds on the science behind elctrospinning, and more.
