Slime Research Paper

Slime is a special play material made up of tangled polymer. It is mostly made by mixing polyvinyl with the chemical compound known as borate ions, you can describe it as a liquid and mix it in a sizable container for mixing. In a more difficult explanation, slime is more commonly known amongst scientists as a Non-Newtonian fluid. These are thick liquids that have a numerous selection of viscosity.

Slime, has a different viscosity, based on the amount of strength you apply when playing with it. Slowly placing your hands on the slime is being described as a small amount of weight being applied to the slime, they will feel thin and water-like, letting you sink your hand into the jelly like substance. Punching it, or throwing it against a wall,

this will not affect anything but the shape of the slime, because it is a thicker substance, so it is more vulnerable to more things.
One way to describe slime is to say that it consists of tangled polymer molecules, a chain-like formation, think of the polymer, think of spaghetti noodles.

When put together on a plate, the noodles then become a tangled mess. The mixtures of the polymer strands will give some viscosity, a cross-linking reactant, is also present in slime to give it the non-newtonian liquid behaviour. The tangled reactants are ions that help the polymer strands connect with weak ionic bonds for a limited time. These bonds, ironically, are strong enough to hold the polymer strands together, yet, but not strong enough to make the entire thing a

solid.
Reportings of Borax, a widely used laundry detergent brand, also used to make the slime may cause itchy eyes, skin rashes/irritation or breathing troubles, and may even damage fertility. Going back to the Polymer links, examples of Polymers are cornstarch, a sort of jelly-like substance that is able to keep something stuck together. Of course polymer substances have a lot of Viscosity. In a more simpler term, the more Viscosity a substance has, the slower it is. Like ketchup or Ranch. Things like water have low Viscosity.
Slime is also known as having Shear-thickening characteristics. Shear thickening is when you apply a strong force, like a punch to the slime. Snow Slime is one of the strongest slimes. It is made of stronger substances and hardens quickly. If you are wanting to experience a good time with slime, Snow Slime would not be a good choice.

Another thing about slime is, if you want a distinct color to your slime you should add food coloring.

Any word coloring will change the color of slime. Such as Galaxy Slime, you should add silver, purple, white, pink, and little bit of black. For your Galaxy Slime it is a colorful slime and one of the most fun slime. So have fun making it!

Think of slime as a playful object. You can tangle it, you can throw it, you can even eat it...actually don't do that. You may die. Slime has a lot of materials in it that can be or could be deadly. So when making Slime make sure to be careful.

Elmer's Glue is a big brand right now. It is one of the key ingredients in slime glue. Glue is what makes the slime form together, without the glue slime would be nothing. Even on Elmer’s Glue website, they have Slime recipes on the front page! Also if you scroll down you get the same result, Slime, Slime, Slime!

Borax, another one of slimes key ingredient! Borax is an important boron compound. Borax is made from composites from seasonal lakes. Borax is a made of little white crystals. Borax isn't only used for Slime. Borax is a detergent booster. So Borax is not safe for everybody, it will have different symptoms to different

people.
