Week 3:

This week we finalized the plan for the project.  Polyethylene, and polyethylene compounded with carbon black will be electrospun in the Materials Science and Engineering Department within the next 2 weeks.  Two Lego NXT Mindstorms kits were signed out of the engineering lab to create the stress and strain tester.  A strain gauge and load cell were acquired from the Materials Department to be used in the Lego design of our table top strength tester for the fibers electrospun.
