(Students need to fill in this part prior to COMMENTS &
meetings with supervisor) SIGNATURE

4 November 2020 (Wednesday)

1. Discuss on the composition formulation of

nail polish by using water-based polymer
which producing in 30ml.
2. Find a new suitable thickening agent since
3 selected chemical is expensive and hard to
find from the supplier.
3. Unable to purchase coloring agent since the
delivery period taking to much time to be
delivered.
4. Discuss on how to set up the hydrophobicity
test.

10 November 2020 (Tuesday)

1. Discuss and finding a new thickening agent

from one of the Master’s student which is
Polyethylene Glycol.
4 2. Figured on how to set up the equipment for
water permeability test with supervisor.
3. Find and ask lab assistant to get the calcium
dehydrate for the test. (unable to get from the
lab)

21
 11 November 2020 (Wednesday)

1. Lab visit with the supervisor before start the

lab work.
a. Supervisor show the locker outside
and inside the Bioprocess Lab.
b. Brief lab instruction and equipment
handling to make sure no mistake
can be done and unwanted thing to
be happen
2. Get all the chemicals that will be use from
3 supervisor.
3. Get the thickening agent from the Master’s
student at CARIFF.
4. Asking laboratory assistant if the FTKKP’s
laboratory have the viscometer, and then he
said yes but need to come up with sample
before doing the equipment’s training.

12 November 2020 (Thursday)

Asking for supervisor signature and submit the

laboratory form to the laboratory assistant.

17 November 2020 (Tuesday)

Get the commercialize nail polish which has been

purchased as a comparison for all the test that will
be perform soon.

19 November 2020 (Thursday)

4
1. Get the whole idea for the water vapor analysis
by sweep the nail polish solution on the same
diameter filter paper and then cut it and put on
the hole of aluminum foil to support the filter
paper.

26 November 2020 (Thursday)

Discuss on:
5 1. The solution did not mix well
and did not turned out as per
expected.

30 November 2020 (Monday)

Discuss on:
1. Took the calcium chloride
anhydrate and the chemicals
6
from supervisor and ask for
supervisor signature for the
laboratory form.
2. The solution is sticky and
lumpy

8 December 2020 (Tuesday)

Discuss on:
1. The solution still would not
cooperate since use a low
temperature. Increase the
temperature and let the polymer
mix with solvent before mixed
with film former.

11 December 2020 (Tuesday)

Discuss on:
1. Observed and test the samples
to see the condition of the
formulations.
2. Set up the WVTR test analysis
using petri dish.

17 December 2020 (Thursday)

Discuss on:
1. The condition of solution
would mix well, separated and
8 still get lumpy for both water-
based polymer
2. Use natural dye for color
agent.

18 December 2020 (Friday)

Update the solution formulation of

9 nail polish for Acrylate Copolymer
to supervisor. Continue with
Polyvinyl Alcohol resin.

21 December 2020 (Monday)

Update on unable to run viscosity

test since there’s no suitable
equipment for a quite sticky
10 solution because the current
viscometer in laboratory cannot fill
in with sticky solution.

24 December 2020 (Wednesday)

Discuss on:
1. Proceed with the test analysis
for the samples and controls.
