In this polymer chemistry experiment, recyclable paper (newspaper etc.) is dissolved in a solution of Ammonium Hydroxide and Cupric Sulfate before being added to a 2.62% sulfuric acid solution with an eye dropper, forming blue strands. Students learn that Cuprammonium Rayon is an example of a regenerated cellulose by observing a natural rayon dissolved into an aqueous solution. For Laboratory Use Only. Not for drug, food or household use. Keep out of reach of children. For more information, refer to the Safety Data Sheet.
Features
- Exciting polymer demonstration in which students synthesize rayon using recycled paper!
- Cuprammonium Rayon is produced by dissolving natural cellulose
- Blue Rayon strands are produced in aqueous solution, as Rayon is insoluble in water
- Instructions and Safety Data Sheet included
