Slime was not invented by a scientist. It has existed since before human life began.
The slime made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and borax solution is commonly known as "homemade slime" or "DIY slime." This type of slime is created by mixing together PVA glue and a borax solution, which causes the polymers in the glue to cross-link and create a stretchy, squishy slime.
Slime was first created in 1976 by Mattel as a toy called "Flubber." It gained popularity in the 1980s as "green slime" and has since become a staple in the toy industry.
Slime and goo are similar in that they are both viscous substances, but they can have different properties. Slime is often a more stretchy and moldable material, while goo tends to be stickier and runnier. Both are commonly used in sensory play and science experiments.
To ensure slime safety when making and playing with homemade slime, always use non-toxic ingredients, wash hands before and after handling slime, avoid ingesting slime, and store slime in a sealed container when not in use.
The water in the slime evaporates as it is exposed to the air, causing the slime to dry out. This leaves behind the solid components of the slime, such as glue and borax, that were mixed together to create the slime.
