''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
Nippon
they 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
