Experiments with interfacial polymerization

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on an experiment involving interfacial polymerization to produce nylon 6,10 using sebacoyl chloride and hexanediamine. Key points include the exploration of various research aspects and variables that can be altered during the reaction. Concerns are raised regarding the safety of using acyl chlorides, which are hazardous and corrosive, leading to caution about the advice given for conducting the experiment. The conversation also references a related thread discussing the byproducts of nylon formation, particularly the production of hydrochloric acid during the process.

I'm wanted to do an experiment with interfacial polymerization; producing nylon 6,10 with sebacoyl chloride and hexanediamine.

I was wondering what aspects of this reaction I could research, or what variables I can change?
