Set 1: To each sample, 0.1 g Na4P2O7 and 0.5 g uridine were added to about 7–8 mL DI water and dissolved to form a clear solution. The reaction temperatures were kept at a range of 60–65 °C for about 5 days. The remaining description, regarding the additional materials added to each of the sample in set 1, is as follows: |
Sample 1 |
0.1 g urea, 0.1 g magnesium sulphate, and 0.3 g white sand |
Sample 2 |
0.1 g urea only |
Sample 3 |
0.1 g magnesium sulphate only |
Sample 4: |
0.3 g white sand only |
Sample 5 |
No additional material |
Set 2: To each sample in this set, similar amounts of reactants were added as in set 2. However, the temperature window was 70–75 °C for about 5 days. The remaining description, regarding the additional materials added to each of the sample in set 2, is as follows: |
Sample 6 |
0.1 g urea, 0.1 g magnesium sulphate, and 0.3 g white sand |
Sample 7 |
0.1 g urea only |
Sample 8 |
0.1 g magnesium sulphate only |
Sample 9 |
0.3 g white sand only |
Sample 10 |
No additional material |
