''maybe these were gloves for another species..'' lol
-
Is it safe to touch it

What chemicals are used??
-
I need a list of every liquids he used to make this.
-
Thanks a lot for this video but I have a question. Is the synthetic nylon the same in composition to commercially made ones. If not, what test can I use to different them.
-
woah !!!!! that is sooooOOOO cool!!! hahah ahahha hahaha lololol
-
Is this also acidic?
-
is it strong?
And How can i spin this??? -
fun instructor
-
nylon is acidic ?
-
This may sound like a silly question, however I am attempting to recreate this experiment without making too much or too little nylon. Approximately how much of each liquid did you use?
-
I am not a chemist but I wonder can I produce nylon from plastics ??
-
So that's how Spider-Man held all that webbing
-
Isn't the acyl chloride used rather than the acid for that kind of demo? I can hardly see a carboxylic acid reacting with an amine to make an amide without some sort of thermodynamic help.
-
Formula?
-
why isnt he wearing safety goggles
-
that dude knows how to keep the students focused
-
thanks for sharing this, way cool
-
O-Town represent!!!
-
why did people dislike this? This is true lol
-
i want a video about polystyrene production line for important
-
and we're now doing this in secondary school.
-
Where are your safety glasses?
-
Oh oh it's magic you know oh oh, never believe it's not so. Now he's gonna start pulling it out of his mouth endlessly.
-
as far as my knowledge is concerned from reliable source,and no offence to Japanese,because it had great potential in its use for the war,…it is the initials of the following:
Now
You
Look
Old
Nipponthey did not have a name for this new chemical formula that produced it,…check it out
-
a guy from new york (ny) and a guy from london (lon) created it 🙂
-
kinda cool to know
-
Anybody knows how the word nylon came to be?
-
if you were in Waterloo i would still be in chemistry
-
SCIENCE!!
-
…is he a wizard?
-
amazing !
-
Putrescine is diaminobutane, Bobby, not diaminopropane.
-
@sabram24 Man…!
-
only if classes in my highschool were like this
-
@XTwina Since the reaction takes place at the border of the two liquids, agitation will cause the solution to react in the entire volume. The result is a mass of nylon that looks not unlike a phlegm ball from an elephant.
-
wow tat's really long nylon!!!!..
-
He mentioned that a group of people are in the Guinness Book for making the longest thread of nylon. I can't find any info on this. Would anybody care to direct me to where I can find out more?
-
YES!! That's 3 minutes of my 10 minute presentation on Nylon done!
-
@Jakub0071 at the end it's (2n-1) H2O since you have a string, not a whole ring
-
@sakuranohana1523 The organic solvent is n-hexane. A straight chain, not a cyclic molecule.
-
@endospores Actually, he didn't use sebacoyl chloride in this reaction. Besides, it can't form an aqueous solution because it actually reacts with water. He said he used a di-acid, either adipic acid or sebacic acid.
-
@atsusamuno your a piece of shit.
-
what were the 2 chemicals he used? and can you make any other fiberous materials like this?
-
man i was there 3 years ago when this was recorded. man that was a fun class
-
Yes I know
-
how do you know that… *-*
-
If you have the mixture of the diamine and dicarbonyl and just stir it up, they will just react all together, not at a nice thin layer like here
-
n C4H8(COOH)2 + n C6H12(NH2)2 –> Nylon + 2n H2O
