  • NOTE: I made a mistake in the diagrams for cellulose, all of the glucose units are missing an oxygen atom!
    Paper is made of cellulose, and in this video, I'll be converting it into a plastic called cellulose acetate. I'll be making two forms of it, known as cellulose diacetate and cellulose triacetate.

    I love how he’s like “if you have any idea on how to solve this problem put it in the comments”. Idk about you but I came here to enjoy a man work science beyond what I can understand

    I love how he does it like a tutorial, even tho most likely none of us have the knowledge or supplies to do this correctly

    I don't think I've watched a single video of yours that I didn't like, and I've watched almost every single one. So thank you for keeping me entertained with the wonders of chemistry!

    Hey NileRed, while drying out the acetone of cellulose acetate, try adding diluted sodium hydroxide mixture and heat dry (temperature between 30 - 40 degree Celsius) them and you will get great cellulose acetate film and highly flexible too. If you are uptown doing it again and have any results please let me know.

    Can’t wait for you to redo this one, probably one of the least gratifying results but we have to appreciate the time and effort you put into showing not just your successes but failures too
