@@ExplosionsAndFire; Oh no I didn't mean anything remotely as noble as that. I meant stuff like chucking things and having them bounce into your flasks. Worse still, I was also *THAT GUY* in uni; while trying to work up a reaction late one night when I was still an undergrad, I even did the unthinkable (yes I am ashamed to admit it); I left the stopcock open when I went to add my gravitationally chromatographed concentrate back into the sep-funnel...

I have always been more at home with the theoretical side of things, although I absolutely love practically doing the reactions myself (go figure!). Personally, the ultimate reward for me comes from finally isolating a weighable amount of pure crystals from an initially intractable brown mass.
I burnt myself burning the vapors in a 94% ethanol bottle. Makes a small blue jet. And it burns through the epiderm so it does not show but your nerves are telling you NO.

I am so glad I was skeptical of the claim nitric acid would catch nitrile gloves on fire. SOP was latex under nitrile for small scale stuff that didn’t require full acid gloves. We had full strength hcl, nitric, hf, sulfuric and acetic on the acid side. Dozens more bases.
Interestingly enough nitroglycerine and ethylene glycol dinitrate can both be used as plasticizers. They work really well for PETN and ETN. They are far from perfect and I imagine they add to the sensitivity but they are an energetic plasticizer/binder.
I just found you. You are a freaking hoot man and I love this as both a chemist an chemical engineer. I love the humor but thrown in with some real science and mischief.

You really do need that glass transition and pretty low viscosity to go through a 3d printer nozzle. Just imagine a world where you have 90 percent copper filament (which exists) and an explosive filament and a multi-extruder printer.
You haven't lived until you have been chased by a tank car (as I was as a late teenager volunteer fire fighter) of 3 beta-2 alpha vinyl butyl acetate... Flash point -38 degrees F, shipped as a gas compressed into liquid. Goes BOOM ( insert quote from the Fifth Element here) if it escapes or if fire/heat impinges on the vapor space at the top of the tank. Known to BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) and the blast wave can wipe out most everything for about 1/2 mile around. So impressive, a chemical company Union Carbide made a safety film on it after a car of it blew up in a rail yard in Houston.
I used to make several gallon batches of PVA solution for an after school science enrichment program... it was such a pita as the second the PVA hits the hot water it clumps just like it did for you. An immersion blender and time was t’only way to make the stuff, mixed with a Borax solution you got Alien style slime.
Hi as usual interesting and entertaining video; stil I have to add my 50 cents and energetic chemical expertise... I had to bring some light and truth onto your video that seems to disqualify polymer or arge for their ban... From what I was able to understand and gather from infos about high energetic materials: First about molecular weights: MW M1 < MW Mx < MW pM A) If you go from monomer (M1) to multimer (Mx) and finally to polymers (pM) you usually end up with the following sequence of density d(M1) < d(Mx) < d(pM); this comes from my observations out of detonic parameters from hunderds of explosives (at this time after more than 30 years of study I couldn't find one single example that goes against my theory and conclusions). Most of the time density increase (contraction due to Vanderwaals forces increase, ionic bonds multiplication, electronegative bon attraction (H bonds, etc.)) can be quite impressive. Into your specific case compare detonic paramerters of PVN, VN (or equivalently ethyl nitrate) and 1,3-butane diol dinitrate you will be convinced (I did this kind of studies on many families of compounds; actually everytime I was able to do so). You of course know that density is one of the heavier influencer into detonic parameters; it plays a role onto VOD (velocity of detonation). Increasing the number of monomers increases the molecular Vanderwaals forces, thus the compactness. Into this field you of course know that PVN, just like nitrocellulose of high NO3% (or semtex, or cyclonite plastic) may burn (maybe deflagrate) but that is another story if you put an actuator / detonator into play instead of self-confinement from flame propagation and own weight. B) If you consider impact sensitivity (IS), you will notice that IS goes up while the molecular mass increases (thus the polymeric weight)... this means that the compounds become less sensitive with polymerisation versus monomer. Increasing the molecular lenght increases the (thermal/impact) energy due to inherent dissipations modes. IS (M1) < IS (Mx) < IS (pM) Using a polymer will thus be way safer than using monomers. Again it will usually simply burn, but it may detonate at a much higher velocity rate if in contact with a detonator. PHZ (PHILOU Zrealone from the Science Madness forum and from newsgroups (Alt.Engr. Explosive, Pyrotechnics, Rec. Sci. Chemistry,...)
Usually the density also increases because there is also often phase change that occurs "naturally" due to polymerisation... So a volatile liquid (or a gas) may turn into a liquid, then a wax and finally into a denser solid (not always cristalline but often with cristalline domains; they can be changed with thermal plateaus - or with help of polymerisation catalyst see atactic - syndiotactic and isotactic to get an idea of the influence on polymer parameters) PHZ
Just a minor correction, polypropylene is not a glass at room temperature, its glass transition is around -10°C It becomes progressively ductile from glass to fusion (150°C), which is why it becomes softer in hot water However, the spoons really are brittle, much more than the PP samples I usually see in the lab, so my guess is those spoons have some additives to make them less flimsy despite being this thin (fatally making them brittle) Edit : The glass transition of Nitrocellulose is around 70°C ( from : Use of DMA-material pocket to determine the glass transition temperature of nitrocellulose blends in film form), the high temperature you evoked is its fusion temperature Glass transition and fusion are two very different things in polymers. They stop having a constant modulus after the transition, but they do not become immediately a paste. In the case of semi-cristalline thermoplastics (yes, some polymers form cristals), they melt abruptly once you reach fusion temperature. Fully amorphous thermoplastics become continuously softer as you increase temperature, without any specific transition, they are just sort of liquid-ish at some point So, to sum this up, it is not exactly the glass transition you are looking for if you want to process the product, but the temperature at which your substance reaches a certain modulus required to squish it well enough

Depending on the grade of PVA, it should be water soluble to various %, but it takes a while and you have to heat the crap out of it (80*C). However, once you have it in solution, you can crash it out with alcohol, acetone, ethyl acetate or what not; this will make very fine powder ;)
If we can figure that out the opportunity for 3d printable solid rocket boosters would be incredible! With the right design geometry/thermal management and scaffolding something like that could decrease the cost of a space launch to raw materials + what ammounts to injection molding 2.0! Thats awesome!
Not so fun fact: between the early 1890's and the early 1950's, motion picture film used nitrocellulose as a film base. If you think that's a bad idea, yes, you're right. It has caused on multiple occasions fires in both projection rooms and film vaults, if you don't store it well, it decomposes into an aweful tar and extremely flammable gas. Nitrate film has caused the loss of countless motion picture media and a few death. Also, there's about a windows of time of about a decade where you could have used radioactive lenses in conjunction with nitrate film.
Years ago I made TATP (couple grams) then added just enough acetone to dissolve it. Then I had the bright idea to put styrofoam till it would not dissolve. Then i let it room dry when the styrofoam turned into a hard plastic I touched it with a lit Punk and omg about blew my hand off. Don't Try Anywhere.
@@diehard7502 hi there ATF/CIA/alphabet soup glow-in-the-dark agency DON'T MAKE TATP. It is that one explosive that's so easy to make that everyone who should not be dealing with explosives can just cook up a too large batch (by that i mean a few gramms) and blow their hand off. It's also stupidly unsafe (sublimates and crystalizes in the threads of a container's lid) so that's at least a self correcting problem. DO NOT MAKE IT. If you can't make something better, you should just stay away from this part of chemistry entirely.
i think the real lesson to be learned here is to keep your open reaction vessels in the main shot so that when you accidentally do something horrible to them at least you'll get some Content out of it
I'm a master finisher was 40 years of experience . You want to blow up using polymers then go to vapors form with lots of particulate with no airflow , spark BBOOOOOMMMMM ! Non-dairy creamer explodes real well also .
Definitely the best person to teach kids chemistry, how many kids are going to come home going, I wasn’t paying attention so he lobbed a piece of explosive putty at me?….. None…. The fine mist will keep the others in line…. But mostly they’ll all be cramming to see.
As a freshman chem major, I've kind of been thinking about specifically what I want to do with my life. I kind of narrowed it down to research on polymers or energetics. Never have I thought about doing both, but maybe I should just look into plasticizers and energetics. Anyways, I love the dumbness of your videos
I used to have to make large quantities of PVA solution for an after school science enrichment program... it is a *_massive_* pain to get into solution requiring far too much time in front of the hot plate with an electric mixer. Once I made it tho, add a Borax solution to make slime !!

Hi as usual interesting and entertaining video; stil I have to add my 50 cents and energetic chemical expertise...
I had to bring some light and truth onto your video that seems to disqualify polymer or arge for their ban...
From what I was able to understand and gather from infos about high energetic materials:
First about molecular weights:
MW M1 < MW Mx < MW pM
A) If you go from monomer (M1) to multimer (Mx) and finally to polymers (pM) you usually end up with the following sequence of density d(M1) < d(Mx) < d(pM); this comes from my observations out of detonic parameters from hunderds of explosives (at this time after more than 30 years of study I couldn't find one single example that goes against my theory and conclusions).
Most of the time density increase (contraction due to Vanderwaals forces increase, ionic bonds multiplication, electronegative bon attraction (H bonds, etc.)) can be quite impressive.
Into your specific case compare detonic paramerters of PVN, VN (or equivalently ethyl nitrate) and 1,3-butane diol dinitrate you will be convinced (I did this kind of studies on many families of compounds; actually everytime I was able to do so).
You of course know that density is one of the heavier influencer into detonic parameters; it plays a role onto VOD (velocity of detonation). Increasing the number of monomers increases the molecular Vanderwaals forces, thus the compactness.
Into this field you of course know that PVN, just like nitrocellulose of high NO3% (or semtex, or cyclonite plastic) may burn (maybe deflagrate) but that is another story if you put an actuator / detonator into play instead of self-confinement from flame propagation and own weight.
B) If you consider impact sensitivity (IS), you will notice that IS goes up while the molecular mass increases (thus the polymeric weight)... this means that the compounds become less sensitive with polymerisation versus monomer.
Increasing the molecular lenght increases the (thermal/impact) energy due to inherent dissipations modes.
IS (M1) < IS (Mx) < IS (pM)
Using a polymer will thus be way safer than using monomers.
Again it will usually simply burn, but it may detonate at a much higher velocity rate if in contact with a detonator.
PHZ
(PHILOU Zrealone from the Science Madness forum and from newsgroups (Alt.Engr. Explosive, Pyrotechnics, Rec. Sci. Chemistry,...)
Usually the density also increases because there is also often phase change that occurs "naturally" due to polymerisation...
So a volatile liquid (or a gas) may turn into a liquid, then a wax and finally into a denser solid (not always cristalline but often with cristalline domains; they can be changed with thermal plateaus - or with help of polymerisation catalyst see atactic - syndiotactic and isotactic to get an idea of the influence on polymer parameters)

Chad of the explosive polymers definitely makes sense.
Ever since this video came out "no fucking polymer magic for you" has entered my daily language.
I have zero drive to do any of this or become part of any field where any of the knowledge would be useful yet I have binged almost all of ur vids

Did you try the recipe?
@@uhuhuhuhuhuh3537 aye, delicious
This is definitely my fave chem channel.
"Awh no, thats my reaction mix. I cant believe I've done that, That'll fuck everything over" - Every chemist in the history of the fucking field
Just a minor correction, polypropylene is not a glass at room temperature, its glass transition is around -10°C
It becomes progressively ductile from glass to fusion (150°C), which is why it becomes softer in hot water
However, the spoons really are brittle, much more than the PP samples I usually see in the lab, so my guess is those spoons have some additives to make them less flimsy despite being this thin (fatally making them brittle)
Edit : The glass transition of Nitrocellulose is around 70°C ( from : Use of DMA-material pocket to determine the glass transition temperature of nitrocellulose blends in film form), the high temperature you evoked is its fusion temperature
Glass transition and fusion are two very different things in polymers. They stop having a constant modulus after the transition, but they do not become immediately a paste. In the case of semi-cristalline thermoplastics (yes, some polymers form cristals), they melt abruptly once you reach fusion temperature. Fully amorphous thermoplastics become continuously softer as you increase temperature, without any specific transition, they are just sort of liquid-ish at some point
So, to sum this up, it is not exactly the glass transition you are looking for if you want to process the product, but the temperature at which your substance reaches a certain modulus required to squish it well enough

@@diehard7502 hi there ATF/CIA/alphabet soup glow-in-the-dark agency DON'T MAKE TATP. It is that one explosive that's so easy to make that everyone who should not be dealing with explosives can just cook up a too large batch (by that i mean a few gramms) and blow their hand off. It's also stupidly unsafe (sublimates and crystalizes in the threads of a container's lid) so that's at least a self correcting problem. DO NOT MAKE IT. If you can't make something better, you should just stay away from this part of chemistry entirely.
@@ARandomTroll You are 100% right I have never made that stuff ever again. I will never give out how to make it are the amounts needed.
so this is the video that landed my homie a job in a top secret weapons project
i think the real lesson to be learned here is to keep your open reaction vessels in the main shot so that when you accidentally do something horrible to them at least you'll get some Content out of it
I'm a master finisher was 40 years of experience . You want to blow up using polymers then go to vapors form with lots of particulate with no airflow , spark BBOOOOOMMMMM !
Non-dairy creamer explodes real well also .
Definitely the best person to teach kids chemistry, how many kids are going to come home going, I wasn’t paying attention so he lobbed a piece of explosive putty at me?….. None…. The fine mist will keep the others in line…. But mostly they’ll all be cramming to see.
This dude teaching us how to make plastic explosives
All I can think about when watching this are the old exploding celluloid billiard balls that replaced ivory. Add a bit of excitement to the game!
This is only the second video of yours I've watched and I FUCKING LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ALREADY. XD
2:00
Thats what she said.... when talking about grinding PBA
As a freshman chem major, I've kind of been thinking about specifically what I want to do with my life. I kind of narrowed it down to research on polymers or energetics. Never have I thought about doing both, but maybe I should just look into plasticizers and energetics. Anyways, I love the dumbness of your videos
"I cant believe I've done that!"....... Well...Time for you to leave the lab!
I used to have to make large quantities of PVA solution for an after school science enrichment program... it is a *_massive_* pain to get into solution requiring far too much time in front of the hot plate with an electric mixer. Once I made it tho, add a Borax solution to make slime !!
A classic Ex&F video.. lovin it
"throw the sulfuric acid right out the window" I would not advise that lol
"It's much easier to just fucking nitrate a tree..." 😂
Holy shit! i did it! finally i paused at 9:35 and stopped at the right frame.
cool, what does it say lol?
Too fecking long to type out. Set it tonthe lowest playback speed and just toggle pause.
@@gavincarstens6497 You can go frame by frame with , and . when you pause the video. It's a bit easier.
I figured out why you randomly popped into my recommended: ive been on a Harry Potter binge the last few days 🤣
I'm new here by last hr and can't figure out why his video was recommended to me besides the fact the thought burning down my job popped into my head again..... Hmmmm
I think you should do your own research into improving PVN by replacing the nitrate group with a perchlorate :D
8:32 Loved the WordArt xD
Actually very happy I found this channel
@0:50 'emlting' this word is greater than me.
"They look like big, good, subtle hands, don't they?"
I do admire your efforts thought we are similar ages I’m really interested in things like this but never actually did the studies ect
I saw your channel name and was like these are my people
Dude, there should be a show called "the next top chemist"
"on the cans mate" we all get on the cans the decide to brew some low & high order explosives
then go to sleep in the gutter,,
great work u must continue to do this in the interests of the country
I feel like I’m gonna be put on some list for watching this.
I fuckn luv this guy true blue if only chemistry ddnt take so long to post luv yor work bloke
