What polymers are in bouncy balls?
The bouncing ball in this activity is made from a polymer. Polymers are molecules made up of repeating chemical units. Glue contains the polymer polyvinyl acetate (PVA), which cross-links to itself when reacted with borax.
What is the science behind bouncy balls?
When the glue mixture was added to the borax, the borax acted as a cross-linker, hooking the glue’s molecules together to form the rubbery bouncy ball. The cornstarch was added to help bind the molecules together so the ball would hold its shape. The ball can bounce because of the cross-linked polymers.

Can you digest a bouncy ball?
Since it is round (no sharp edges) and not magnetic or caustic like magnet or battery swallowing, your son should be fine. When children swallow sharp pointed objects it can perforate the intestines. Batteries are dangerous in the stomach acid. Since the ball is small enough it should pass with no problem.

What happens if dog eats rubber ball?
The rubber ball can pose a serious choking hazard or is another thing that can cause an intestinal blockage in dogs. Another problem is that bits of the ball can stay in the dog’s stomach, leading to a condition called peritonitis, which is an infection of the abdomen.
What happens if a dog swallows a bouncy ball?
He is okay. Bouncy balls are not sharp and as you said he ripped it up before eating it there isn’t a big risk of perforation. Monitor all his poops to see if he passes the rest of the pieces. My dog has ate pieces of plastic off a kong gyro (horrible toy, do not recommend it) and the vet just told me to monitor it.
Can I eat a bouncy ball?
I wouldn’t recommend eating one… But if accidentally swallowed, as long as it isn’t so big it “struggles to pass out again”, it would, in my opinion, be harmless. There are obviously may kinds of bouncy balls, so the above applies to one particular kind, not every kind.
