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 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!

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

this guy makes the best videos to fall asleep too bc his voice is so pleasant and he won’t wake you up with random loud noises

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. Reason: Removal of few more acetyl groups and allowing the cellulose polymerise evenly as well as the sodium hydroxide solution would reduce the contraction due to shock drying of acetone.

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

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

10:15 .. That shrinking effect is used in covering RC airplanes with paper or silk (and also for real airplanes with cloth covering!). You paint the paper with a laquer made of it, as it dries it sticks to the structure and tightens very well. The forces can be strong enough to BREAK the structure under it, if you use to much of it at once on a very light build. In this case, campher is used as a plasticizer. It also works with nitrocellulose and is sometimes still done, because it also greatly improves the flammability if you want to burn your plane after a bad crash. So, if you still try to make it again, maybe try campher. Don't have any idea about the relative amount needed, though.
