Update of monolayer formation attempts

SEM images have been taken of the previous samples and have shown that monolayers were indeed formed but not nearly close enough to the surface areas that we are looking for.  After doing some reading there are methods done using a spin coater that are worth looking into trying.  I have also contacted the previous operator of the Langmuir-Blodgett trough being used and she has given me a few tips which may also prove fruitful.  Over the next week I hope to try and employ both methods and next Friday possibly take SEM images to check for whether or not one of the techniques works for our project.
