Shpf Test Results

Samples are dried at 60oC in an oven for 60 minutes, and weighed to get their dry mass in grams. Samples are placed on a sheet of plastic for handling and mounting in frames. Sheets of plastic weighed and marked beforehand. Samples are then placed in environment chamber for 30 minutes and weighed again after to determine water uptake, measured in grams of water per grams of material (g g-1).

Testing the samples shows that the produced material samples were successful in cycling atmospheric moisture as intended, although at a much lower yield than the SHPF described in the original paper, when compared in % uptake of water per cycle.

The original paper demonstrates a much higher uptake of water at 0.96g g-1 in 30 min at 30% RH compared to the highest achieved absorption rate for batch 3 at 0.67g g-1 in 30 min at 75% RH. This can be attributed to inexperience with the material and the production.

PARANG pattern. One of the oldest patterns. “S” shape motions an unbroken continuity, with many interpretations. The continuity of the spirit of the ocean and it’s water, the will to never give up and the circle of life and death in all things.
