02:00we then initiate that cross-thinking in an oven and then we're left with this solid stretchy film
02:07So I did chemistry with biological and medicinal chemistry and then I specialised in polymer
02:12chemistry in my master's year yeah so the beginning of 2026 was the first time we inflated it yeah
02:20trees there are really really positive for the environment so the tree can last for 40 years or
