Have you ever wondered why adding Borax to a polymer liquid suddenly transforms it into an elastic mass that can both flow and stretch?
This happens due to Polymer Cross-linking, a process that links polymer chains together into a 3D Network with Viscoelastic properties—combining both viscosity and elasticity at the same time!
Beyond the fun, this toy comes with safety precautions regarding chemical residues and volatile compounds. Read the simple breakdown of how it forms in this infographic.
