    I'm on youtube instead of studying for my exam on polymers and what comes up? POLYMERS I can't escape...

    Incredible well done job. This 10 minutes video was still better than 6 hours of classes with my teacher. :)

      No it wasnt. this video is not for teaching purpose. and if it is this video doesnt teach its just information after watching this in the next 20 minutes u wont remember anything

    Thanks for making all of these Crash Course Videos. I learn WAY more from these than actually going to class! It is very clever to make these videos short enough to pacify the short attention span of most people.

    I just fell in love with chemistry watching this. Here we go again, one more subject that will consume countless hours of my life :D

    Correction - at 4:12 you state "loses some of its opacity" when you mean to say "loses some of its transparency" (gaining opacity).

    In Organic Chemistry Lab, we did a similar experiment where we made nylon, but it was made with sebacoyl chloride (10-carbon chain with carboxyl groups on both ends) and 1,6-hexadiamine. Different kind of nylon than the video, but the technique with the immiscible solvents was the same.

    Extremely informative!
    Another example of the difference between Thermoset and Thermoplastics is:
    Thermoplastics are like butter, you can warm them up and can recycle them easily with the addition of heat.
    Thermosets are like a egg, once you boil the egg it's hard and you can't change it shape with more heat.
    Keep up the great work!

    Another cool thing about PVC in particular, you can add a certain thing called a plasticizer to make these chain longer and more ordered to make the fabric sort of PVC.

  • @TechLaboratories
    @TechLaboratories 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nitrocellulose, also called Celluloid, was also used as the base for photographic film for many years until it was finally replaced by Cellulose acetate or "safety film" starting in the 1930s and 40s. Since nitrocellulose was also used as gun cotton, an explosive, it was illegal to transport film reels on public transportation for safety issues (a fact that forms major plot points in Alfred Hitchcock's film "Sabotage" and in Quentin Tarantino's film "Inglourious Bastards", among others.)

    • @danheidel
      @danheidel 11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Nitrocellulose is still used in biology. Oddly, it's really good at binding to proteins. So when you do a Western blot for protein analysis, nitrocellulose paper is often used.
      It's particularly nice for when the experiment doesn't work out and you can just detonate the failed blot.

    6:50 onward: This is why you don't burn plastics!!

    • @danheidel
      @danheidel 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually it's a bad idea to burn plastic for completely different reasons. Most burning takes place through free radical mediated reactions at least in part.
      Plastic has a very high density of reducable atoms in it and is therefore difficult to get complete combustion unless you're supplementing the burning process with extra oxygen. The result is a lot of unburned carbon in the fumes which can be hghly toxic. Also, a lot of the plasticizers contain halogens which are no fun to breathe either.
      A lot of plymers, especially the 'purer' ones like PE or PP can actually be made to burn quite cleanly if burned with lots of extra oxidizer.
