The slime is created as a result of the borax linking the polymers in the glue together to create larger polymers. [1] Its recipe can vary based on the desired color, consistency, or scent of the slime; additions can include dyes or sequins. [2] [3] [4] Other recipes for slime include shampoo, soap, corn starch, body lotion, and shaving cream. [5]
Slime flows under low stresses but breaks under higher stresses. Flubber, also commonly known as slime, is a non-Newtonian fluid, easily made from polyvinyl alcohol–based glues (such as white "school" glue) and borax. It flows under low stresses but breaks under higher stresses and pressures.
A family gets slimed at Nickelodeon Suite Resort Orlando.. Gunge as it is known in the United Kingdom, or slime as it is known in the United States and most English-speaking areas of the world, is a thick, gooey, yet runny substance with a consistency somewhere between that of paint and custard.
Scientists have scoured the depths of the ocean and outer space for microbes to help slow global warming. They are now looking at a new and unlikely place — inside your home.
Slime is a toy product manufactured by Mattel, sold in a plastic trash can and introduced in February 1976. [2] It consists of a non-toxic viscous, squishy and oozy green or other color material made primarily from guar gum. [3]
A SAP's ability to absorb water depends on the ionic concentration of the aqueous solution. In deionized and distilled water, a SAP may absorb 300 times its weight [4] (from 30 to 60 times its own volume) and can become up to 99.9% liquid, and when put into a 0.9% saline solution the absorbency drops to approximately 50 times its weight.
Saline solution is also sometimes used. [2] The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a fact sheet recommending one of four methods to make the water safe: [8] Boil: Use water that has been previously boiled for 1 minute and left to cool. At elevations above 6,500 feet, boil for 3 minutes.
In aqueous solution, boric acid B(OH) 3 can act as a weak Brønsted acid, that is, a proton donor, with pK a ~ 9. However, it more often acts as a Lewis acid, accepting an electron pair from a hydroxide ion produced by the water autoprotolysis: [11] B(OH) 3 + 2 H 2 O ⇌ [B(OH) 4] − + H 3 O + (pK = 8.98) [12]
