Week 5 Cont. - Humidity Creating Problems with Spinning

During week 5, the scheduled time for spinning the solution and testing the second variable, angle, did not go as planned. The day of lab (May 1st, 2012), a Tuesday, was filled with scattered thunderstorms and rainfall. With the high temperature and precipitation, the humidity level rose very high and was quite different from the constant. The constant humidity from the first spinning session must be kept so there is a control n the experiment. The spinning will now occur in week 6, while the SEM imaging for the second set of samples dealing with angle changes will be viewed in week 7. Week 8 will be devoted to viewing the results and finding conclusions. The final report will be written in week 9 and week 10 will be the presentation.

The blog updates that we would like to include have to do with the following:

Other competition (companies that makes filters made from nanofibers)
Detailed explanation for filter design
Significance of results
Impact on society
Further changes that can be made if there was a re-experimentation
