DIY: Silly Putty

We all have our lab experiences in school and I want to share one of the experiments we made. It’s called Silly Putty. Actually, we performed a lot of experiments, but this one stood out for me because it can be used to entertain people, especially kids, like me, even the main purpose of making this is to learn about the polymers and the cross linking and the physical changes and the molecular motion and the intermolecular bond strength and whatever is related. Those learnings really matter but I was just amazed and I can’t believe that a simple glue can be formed into a silly toy. It is noted for its unusual characteristics. It bounces, but breaks when given a sharp blow. It can also float in a liquid and will form a puddle given enough time.

The materials are just simple and can be found inside our houses. You don’t have to buy them. In our worksheet of procedures, the materials needed were 55% Elmer’s glue solution in water and Borax. But I found out that there are alternatives for Borax like liquid soap, powder or laundry detergent. You can also use food coloring to turn your silly putty into your desired color.
