When is find myself casting polymers
my chemistry teacher comes to me
speaking words of wisdom let it dry
i know the longer polymer chains are stronger then the shorter ones
the longer tangle eaiser let it dry
let it dry let it dry let it dry let it dry
casting them polymers let it dry
polystyrene is waterproof
because it is a hydrocarbonv that makes it nonpolar so they won\'t mix
polymer pellets absorb much water
because they have crosslinked chains
the water fills into the pores let it dry
let it dry let it dry let it dry let it dry
casting them polymers let it dry
for viscosity its a different story
hydrogen bonds attractic the chains
so the chains are tightr together let it dry
polymers are everywhere
even in the seat you sit
the factories made then from liquid let it dry
let it dry let it dry let it dry let it dry
casting them polymers let it dry
