Question

B. How do you think the physical properties (strength, flexibility, and viscosity) of the polymer would change if more borate had been added

Answer 1

It became thicker and its viscosity decreased and cannot flow as easily as before.

You ignite a chemical reaction by adding the borax solution to the glue mixture.

In a chemical reaction, the molecules of glue and borax combine to form a flexible, springy new substance. With rubber's vulcanization serving as a model, chemical cross-linking has been extensively employed to change the physical properties of polymeric materials.

Chemical links between polymer chains provide a substance with a more solid structure and perhaps a better-defined shape. It thickened and lost viscosity, making it more difficult to flow than it once could.
