      Hi Ryanb

      They take up to 3 days because I run my experiments at O degrees C, which slows down the speed of the reaction. This is for a reason, it’s because the lower the temperature the more controlled the polymerization is, so I can make the same polymer in each reaction. this is very important when doing experiments that the work can be done over and over again without anything changing in the results.
