Chain length?
Bystander said:Look at melting points or densities as functions of chain length.
Polymerization chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the reactions and processes involved in the formation of polymers, which are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers.
Polymerization chemistry has a wide range of applications, including creating new materials for industries such as packaging, textiles, and construction, as well as developing new drug delivery systems and medical devices.
Some key factors to consider when designing a polymerization chemistry experiment include the type of monomers used, the choice of catalyst or initiator, the reaction conditions (e.g. temperature, pressure), and the desired properties of the resulting polymer.
Yes, there are several polymerization chemistry experiments that can be done at home with simple materials, such as making slime using polyvinyl alcohol and borax, or creating a bouncy ball using cornstarch and glue.
Some potential challenges or limitations to keep in mind when conducting polymerization chemistry experiments include the need for specialized equipment, the potential hazards of working with chemicals, and the complexity of controlling the reaction process and obtaining desired results.
