Synthesizing Thiokol Rubber into a Bouncy Ball Attempt
Observe the step-by-step synthesis of Thiokol rubber using common chemicals and the subsequent attempt to form it into a functional bouncy ball.
Short Summary
- Successfully synthesized Thiokol rubber by reacting sulfur with sodium hydroxide solution, forming necessary polysulfides.
- The subsequent addition of 1,2-dichloroethane successfully precipitated the polymer, causing it to clump together into a discernible shape.
- The resulting polymer exhibited squishiness but solidified into a rectangular cube, failing the goal of producing a round bouncy ball.

FINALLY!! The clear liquid in the start is WATER and not some alcohol mixture or something.
That’s the least bouncy chunk of butter I’ve ever seen.
I'm so relieved when I see a new video from Nigel that he's survived his latest shenanigans
Maybe doing the final stirring step in a round bottom flask would result in a rounder ball.
Thanks for the tutorial!!! Finally I don't have to buy bouncy balls for my kids anymore and instead can just make them at home, which is always healthier. 😊
This is one of the rare times that he actually failed an experiment ❤❤
You know the process is diabolically slow when Nigel has to speed it up 120 times.
now buy a giant $20000 machine to shape it into a ball
Forbidden marshmallow
Huh, sulfer cube.
