mix hydrogel measurement

[Katsuki, Marc, Shalika]

Realigned beam and reinstalled powermeters and polcam.

mixed monomer (YY037:diphenyl+YY044:di-peg-phenyl) v/v=1/1 (ratio of monomer)

file : C:\Users\atama\Dropbox\Cell Birefringence\Measurement data\Fri, Mar 14, 2025 1-56-26 PM.txt

broke at 0.4. replace 160mm with 16mm. was mispelled.

another material

acrylamide(negative control)

seems measurement at 0.32 was actually 0.34N

0.4 N --> 0.42N

0.44 N --> 0.45 N

0.48 was not finished

Is Arylamide same as acrylamide?

 

I have saved the first material characteristics in 

C:\Users\atama\Dropbox\Cell Birefringence\Measurement data\hydrogel\Mix 1

the another one in

C:\Users\atana\Dropbox\Cell Birefringence\Measurement data\hydrogel\Arylamide 2

 

Since we are measurig Arylamide again, I have renamed the first measurement of Arylamide as 'Arylamide 1'

Edit 1:

Also the modifcations to the measurement are saved in

I have attached picture of the characteristics obtained of the materials. The figures are in the following order.

for Mix

Fig 1: Birefringence vs. Stress 

Fig 2: Diattenuation vs. Stress

Fig 3 : Rotation vs. Stress

for Arylamide

Fig4 : Birefringence vs. Stress 

Fig 5 : Diattenuation vs. Stress

Fig 6 : Rotation vs. Stress

Is Arylamide same as acrylamide? -> yes it is the same, was a typo

Note that for this measurement (and likely all previous ones) the hydrogel is tilted by a non negligeable amount as in Fig.1.

It should have an effect on all measurements (likely adding some offset at 0 force applied)
