SLIME SCIENCE

When you learn how to make slime, you also want to learn about the science behind the slime! You can learn a little more about polymers and cross-linking. A polymer glue is made up of tons of long, repeating, and identical chains of flexible molecules. When you add any of the borate ions (slime activators) to the glue, it helps to link those molecules together.

Normally the molecules in the glue slide past each other in a liquid form just like when you use the glue for crafts…

But when you add one of our favorite crosslinkers to it, the molecules become thicker and thicker because they can no longer slide as easily.

The substance becomes more viscous and more rubbery as the molecules become more and more jumbled. This substance is the slime we know and love. If you notice, the mixture also becomes larger than the liquids you started with in the beginning. Read more about slime science here.
