What are the reactions between plastics and acids?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of finding reliable information regarding the interactions between plastics and acids. The original poster expresses frustration over the lack of resources available online and seeks guidance on any relevant reactions or studies. There is a specific request for papers or websites that address the compatibility of polymers with acids, indicating a need for more accessible research in this area. The mention of a Google search link suggests an attempt to find existing literature but highlights the difficulty in obtaining comprehensive data on this topic.

Hi,

I am starting to get desperate with my search to find information about the reaction of plastics with acids. I have searched all over the internet for a while now and I have found very little. If anyone knows anything about the form of any reactions that take place with plastics and acids, or of any papers or websites relating to this, I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks,

Matt

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
