This week Luz finished performing headspace analysis of volatile liquids, hexane and gasoline, on four sample fabrics. These fabrics are denim, linen, polyester, and nylon. The headspace analysis using the GC-MS instrument has shown– through chromatograms and mass spectra, that this method is most likely not sensitive enough to detect the molecules...

Julia is so excited to be back in the lab for the summer! It is her first time doing summer research on campus. Julia has started running collagen and mineralization QCM experiments with the two sets of instruments that are in the lab. She is planning on continuing these experiments, and hopefully start incorporating new mineralization solutions. She is...
