Talk Overview:
There’s a lot of chemistry and cool materials in everyday life that we don’t notice, and they are all made of a type of compound called Polymers. From plastic bags to diapers, these are found all over, and I will explain the basics of polymers with some demonstrations and activities before having an interactive experiment to determine how impressive a certain polymer is.
