I have been working lately with colloidal solutions.

I was adsorbing 100mm Ag particles with previously described procedure from 20ppm solution in one hour. Optically visible chnges was observed after particle deposition(blue or green washy colour). Further inestigation was reflection measurement. Two up to 2% reflectiom minima where found for between 300 - 500nm.
Also simulation parts where further developed. The optimal particle size where found.
For 0,5um thick silicon cell optimal diameter is 140nm.

In women’s month I was working on 12, 24 PLL/HA and PLL/ALG bilayer polyelectrolyte films preparation in order to assess adsorption of FBS proteins. I prepared polymer coatings on samples modified by migration channels. Samples were settled by the smooth muscle cells culture.

I have done this month:
- sample preparation to SEM obserwation;
- orientation maps measurment (EBSD/SEM technique) for 3004 and Al-Zr aluminium alloys;
- plane strain compression for the 1050 aluminium alloy in the deformed state (after 0, 1- and 3- passes through ECAP die);
- attendance in PAS Semminars.

This month I was writing the next chapter of my PhD thesis, which in fact is the most important one and concerns the final results of my work.
In the meantime I have tried to finish the last part of experiments connected with the characterization of bulk samples.

During this month I have stared to pepare to very important presentation in my institute. I tried to revised all the data from previous years and conclude them - unfortunately it is not done yet. Moreover, I started corrosion experiments on heat-treated samples.
