Description
The effects of freeze drying Body Armor was studied in order to determine pre/post differences for future astronomical pursuits. This was accomplished by the thin layer chromatography and extraction. The analysis of the Body Armor before and after freeze drying was completed by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy. The TLC did not yield any significant results, while the GC mass spec showed the disappearance of cyclopentylidenephenylmethyl benzene and the formation of benzoic acid, among other results to be discussed.
