Elementary Productions: Nylon synthesis

[Chaoskai3000]

You misspelled fibers"

[bartieke]

Kan iemand de pot in ons klas komen opendoen? :d

[KamikazeStryke]

Looks like candy.

[iMhWtUr0204NOT]

does it taste good?

[dustobusto]

I find all his videos relaxing and fun to watch. Simple things like the sound of liquids .. I dunno. I like it.

[RgSideeeeeeeeee]

'it gets fuschia in colour' ?????? gay?

[omarion2k]

what is the casing of that magnet made from.

[M40M40Y1NP31]

it look like candy

[heavym3tal]

Can you vulcanize it to make it stronger?

[Hammer88cajun]

Very interesting, you did a fine job making both the nylon and this video, thank you.

[rootsoftok]

Why is Sodium Hydroxide added? i.e. why do the conditions need to be alkali is it some form of initiation for polymerisation?

[dramlee01]

@rootsoftok This is so that when you add the phenolphthalein indicator the solution is pink. Nothing to do with the polymerisation, but makes everything look beautiful.

[ciaoiosonoio]

If I use adipoyl chloride, how much I have to use?

[danny3man]

so where were you when i was learning chemistry ??

[douro20]

Hexane has to be used with the sebacoyl chloride because in water it hydrolyzes to form hydrogen chloride.

[actor2120]

that was well done! i love it! check out our vids!

[MrDeathShott1]

Can Any1 forward me to a video that shows the production of Nylon 6,6 using Hexamethylenediamine?

[IDKSOMTHIN]

I Don't Know Why But This Was In My Recommended Videos Section

[panzarw]

creepy actually!

But as i see you can put your hand there and when you take it out you have an instant glove or condom XD

[mrkanker1]

@panzarw they're made out of latex not nylon

[panzarw]

@mrkanker1 Was i saying that i don't know from what they are made of?

[mrkanker1]

@panzarw *facepalm*

your not very smart, are you?

[panzarw]

@mrkanker1 Like they all say GROW UP BRAT.

[mrkanker1]

@panzarw *facepaw*

dude you are really an idiot

x3

[TheMegaUploader1]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooring



[762full]

Whats the melting point of the product???

[kuko1978]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[derman077]

The van der Waals force is cool.

[denelson83]

Hmmm... I never expected pure 1,6-diaminohexane to be a solid at room temperature.

[mewrox99]

@denelson83

It's kinda volatile though, it smells like rotten fish

[762full]

@mewrox99 I wouldnt smell that man

[Alecs4cwalk]

at the end it looks like gum

[karlanayeli14]

ola

[MrForestGreen]

Can you do anything with the wet nylon?

like cast it to form small parts?

[Bernler75]

That looks cool but gross on the same time :) Like some f-ing sci-fi shit :P

[fwimble]

whats that spinning thing in the bottom of the beaker?

[cheaptubes]

@fwimble a magentic stirrer

[cheaptubes]

@fwimble - a magnetic stirrer

[cchj768]

We did this at school...well, my teacher did it :(

[Teleintervisioncom]

cool

[flarn2006]

Audio glitch at 4:20

[mewrox99]

Thats GSM interference his cellphone must have received a txt

[SHExxLIKESxxBARINAS]

awesome video

interesting and relaxing

[atsusamuno]

Indeed, relaxing, just like when ur mom cowrides my dick.

[LamerOnBoard]

@atsusamuno

why would you say that to me you prick

you are disgusting and sick minded. get the hell off youtube, get the hell off te internet and DO SOMETHING WITH YOURSELF

[AkumaADemoncus]

why reply to a comment with a different account?

[samsaras]

yes thats what i wanted to see after looking at the boring pictures in my chemistry textbook! A big Thank You!

[interest547]

Awesome! Love it.

[SirSmokeal0t]

Incredibly weird and fucking awesome.

[UberThink]

Wearing gloves to handle clothing material.

Just use hemp or cotton.

[6418978876]

It's magic!

[guymark]

superb!

[dbc616]

Awesome!

Adipic acid can replace the sebacoyl chloride/hexane solution

[douro20]

Yeah, but doesn't that produce a different type of nylon?

[Smartassawhip]

This is cool!

[tpt7devilz]

this is so well done! :)

[cube11235]

I don't have a strong knowledge of Chemistry...

Given that water disolves diaminohexane and that the sebacoyl chloride is miscible with the hexane, is there any other reason those specific solvents are used? Could other solvents have been used?

[BROWNIESWAGGER]

OMG at the end it looks like pink chewing gun i loved it, real cool scientifycation

[servessa]

wow!

[tony5309872]

very good demonstration

[denelson83]

Was that a little GSM interference at the end of this video?

[milotickz]

Wao!

[lithiumw]

Is it a "hanna" magnetic stirrer ?

p.s.: All your videos are great !

[mingholio]

Just like how we did it in OCHEM lab!

This was the best lab!

[Daisar1]

Now you can play spiderman

[an147]

Very interesting. I work in a sock factory and this video can be very useful. I work with nylon 6 and 6.6 all the time for sock knittin´.

[sakuranohana1523]

ok just asking what if you use instead of hexane.. tetra-cloroethene with the sebacoyl chloride.. so you believe this would work out the same?

[nitrex]

I have seen this experiment once in one of the books i have. Its pretty interesting, i think i am going to try it.

[vmelkon]

Can you make a video where you heat HgO?

[mabakken]

I'm sorry, I don't have Mercuric Oxide. Also, it is very dangerous :P

[vmelkon]

I guess it is but you have all the equipement and liquid nitrogen is great for cooling the mercury. How about passing air through LN2, I hear that you can make liquid oxygen that way.

[mabakken]

If you pass air through liquid Nitrogen, both Nitrogen and Oxygen will condense (Atmosphere: 21% O2, 78% N2)

I think it is easier to make some Oxygen and pass that through LN2 =)

[chemlabchemistry]

No problem, I will try to do it the following weeks. I will reply here again when I'm ready. Just check my channel when I am, I also have chem videos. I have a (homemade) fumehood, so shouldnt be of great concern, a one time experiment.

Besides, I think the mercury condenses in the middle of the test tube anyway, even without cooling. Next the metal can be dissolved in nitric, and disposed of at the waste preocessing facility as photography waste.

[Binerycode]

@vmelkon i have a question i no nothing about chemical or nothing so get this i ripped my blanket some while back i was too lazy to sew so i used superglue the thing got SUPERHOTT and then the super glue i put on the blanket turned white and then hard in mere seconds i mean it work and it stuck the ripe together like good but i never did it again due to fear of a fire what happen was it a chemcal reaction or what Shit was it you know about chemicals and stuff and any one else that could help

[Sebbass69]

Mystic, hexane is a liquid, not a gas. Pentane is the lowest molecular weight hydrocarbon that is a liquid - they have very low boiling points, and at room temperature, have very high vapor pressures, so some of it is a gas, but at STP, it is considered a liquid -

[Oski4777]

nice :)

[poprocz]

Your video are most amazing, I am learning so much.

We are envious of your chem collection.

[AirsoftLife]

hexane...hehe. :P Can you say "FAE"? lol xD

[SymAmineC8H11N]

NICE....

[Bernler75]

lol... When I was smaller I used to think that nylon was compressed plastic bags:P But for about 10 years ago I learnt that it's a reaction:P And now I see it, cool:P

[asd52320032003]

good work

great editing

clear and concise subtiles!

keep it up!

[shadygrey89]

That was much more interesting than I'd have thought...

[pyroduck7]

wow thats really cool!

[Fredkuesel]

wow neat!

can we get a look inside at your lab?

always wanted to see what a labratory looked like.

[mabakken]

I am working on a website where my videos will be more organized and with a good description of what I'm actually doing. On that website there will also be a "Tour my lab" part, where I will post some pictures of it. The website will be started on by the end of May. Ill try to remember to take contact when it's done, but I'll post a link on my channel! =)

[nulladiessine]

no comment

[davidkoster]

Excellent video.

I will make a same videos this week end:d

[Basco36]

awsome! always wanted to try that one.

[mozartthebest]

WOW nice, no, no is very nice =D

[mozartthebest]

But the nylon is corrosive?

[mabakken]

No, it's completely harmless after a thorough washing!

[EMSfreak]

Who do you do when your washing it?

[mabakken]

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question.

[EMSfreak]

I mean how do you do to wash out the pink colour from the nylon.

[mabakken]

The pink color goes away as you wash it with a large amount of water :)
