Students:
This post gives an excellent demonstration, by a graduate student in college, of the polymerization of nylon. Nylon can be formed out of various sub-units, such as:
In this demonstration, layering two different liquids allows a reaction to precipitate at the interface between the two fluids. A peptide bond is formed similiar to what has been described for amino acid synthesis in lecture:
There is no assignment attached to this video, but watching this will give you better understanding of the course material concerning polymerization.
very interesting and useful blog. If you are interested in chemistry, check out this blog about silicon chemistry
