Thank you for this! I'm trying to gain a complete understanding of cast iron seasoning polymers and one day do a research paper on the subject. I'm still a student for now! Could you please explain what you think is being created when doing a basic "seasoning" heating grapeseed oil (smoke point 420°f) to 500°f for 1 hour and allowed to cool in oven for 2 hours after shutting off? Would this be some sort of bioplastic formation? Also there is a theory that cooking onions helps the polymer formation (more than likely a sulfur reaction between fat, iron, and sulfur.) I would love your thoughts behind this.
Great question! Two factors are key: (1) When two molecules collide, their kinetic movement provides energy that in part is translated into breaking bonds. (2) The pi bond component of a double bond is substantially weaker than a typical sigma bond involving a carbon atom -- so a weaker bond is being replaced by a stronger one. I admire the insightful level of your thinking! Best wishes for success!
I understood more in five minutes than in five lectures at school. Thank you !!
Thanks for the kind words. So glad the video was helpful!
goodness it's been 3 years since i studied org chem and now i need to review it all over again for polymer engineering subject TT
youre the man!
Thank you! You can get notes for this and all the other lectures at quickorgo.com

So what actually makes plastic?
Thank you sir!
You're welcome! Best wishes for success!
Sir can you please say why the pi bond break while reacting with initiator
