Polymer Chemistry: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #35

So far in this series we’ve focused on molecules with tens of atoms in them, but in organic chemistry molecules can get way bigger! Polymers are molecules that contain hundreds, thousands, or even millions of identical subunits. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’ll look at different examples of addition and condensation polymers, learn about different types of polymerization, and see how a polymer’s morphology affects its properties. Plus we’ll see how some of the polymers we encounter every day were discovered by accident!

Lol. I love that you guys used Seto Kaiba and the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon as the thumbnail. I see what you guys did there.

[WWEdeadman]

I love you for putting Seto Kaiba and the Blue-Eyes Ultimate dragon on the thumbnail. Combining my two favorite things, Chemistry and games. xD

[FF-dsxw]

"So you're going to the Shadow Realm, Jimbo"

[avatarmary]

haven't watched any of these organic chemistry vids until now and I clicked on it for the thumbnail lol

[Leo-vt]

9:23- loki multiverse and HDPE and LDPE comparision is golden!

[EggplantHarmesan]

I always bring my blue eyes white dragon to science class

[jacobd]

9:23, love the loki/tva/timeline monitor homage!

[terry_the_terrible]

Me: POLYMERIZATION!
Crash course: Why yes, did you study polymer chains in chemistry too?
Me: no, but I believe in the heart of the cards.

[abbycollins]

“AS PRESIDENT OF KAIBA CORP I DECLARE THIS INVALID!” is what I would say if this sucked. But it didn’t.

[tomb]

How did you know I just got back into yugioh

[quimicasg]

Wow, deboki is adding such detailed information and effort in her video. I think she should also teach other topics of chemistry and inorganic chemistry ! I would be too glad to see her explaining new topics
Also, school and pre-college topics!!

[rbo]

The Exodia
Courses about ceramic, glass, metals as also polymers and composites.
There will be a Crash course on materials science and engineering someday :')

[benwasserman]

Today we will be teaching the genetic process by which you create a Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon….

[Skyphic]

clickbait thumbnail, video doesnt discuss the mighty blue eyes ultimate dragon not once

[ashishyeruva]

Sees Kaiba
Sees Crashcourse polymers video
One minute later, polymerisation

[lungisatakane]

"My Grandpa's deck has no useless cards Kaiba!"

[Gilo]

Honestly it's been a long time since I've watched a crash course video. FYI it's Kaiba that brought me here 🤣

[markgarcia]

I’m a simple man, I saw Seto Kaiba on the thumbnail, say no more

[sherryting-yulin]

I’m a simple Yugioh fan.
I see Kaiba, I click.

[kleanthis]

I have no experience in chemistry, but i do have a "chemistry" with that thumbnail.
