How to pronounce “super glue” in English

Super glue is strong.

Super glue is also weak if a force is applied perpendicular to the polymer chains.

Super glue quickly found industrial applications.

But super glue also has its weaknesses.

So super glue is so reactive because it is so electron deficient.

Most super glue specifically warns against using it on polyethylene and polypropylene because it won't stick.

Medical super glue has now grown to be a $900-million-a-year industry.

But with super glue it's almost the opposite.

But the super glue actually hardened immediately.

That's why super glue sets rapidly on almost every surface.

The tensile strength of super glue can be upwards of 25 mega pascals, which is similar to other polymers, meaning a square patch just five

As a super glue is very quickly reacting.

And since super glue is so brittle, it can't redistribute this stress, causing the bond to fail.

The materials that super glue does not bond to.

So if you pour super glue on top of water, it'll just like, you'll just get like a clump of super glue on it.

So when you add super glue, it sets even faster due to all those ion initiators.

You can layer super glue and baking soda to strengthen a joint and fill gaps.

- I'm super glue's biggest fan, obviously, but I hope that it can actually have a real impact in terms of sustainability

It's just like super glue.

There's a forensic technique that uses super glue fumes to pull fingerprints from non-porous surfaces.

Whereas in the chains of a super glue polymer, it doesn't have the ability to do that.

You have to have something that super glue won't stick to, so it can be contained and stored without setting.

Just gonna add some liquid super glue.

If you imagine taking a piece of super glue that's already hardened and sticking scotch tape onto it, you could pull that tape off pretty easily.

One day I was trying to open a bottle of super glue where the cap had gotten glued on to the nozzle, so I tried twisting it off with my teeth,

And the reason it did that is because the polymerization of super glue is actually triggered by water.

There are a lot of wrinkles and pores for super glue to seep into.

So your skin is the perfect sort of surface for super glue to stick to.

So there are hundreds of cases of people putting super glue directly into their eyes.

Super glue polymers are almost all single chains running linearly between the surfaces.

If you want to speed up the setting of super glue, one way is to add more negative ions, the initiators that start the polymerization reaction.

If you take pure water and pour in super glue, you get a bunch of little plastic droplets.

And finally, super glue is hard and brittle, unlike us.

And second, super glue on its own is brittle, so how do you stop it from breaking?

So it's sort of like if you were to take super glue and scotch tape.

But if you started with scotch tape and actually cured the super glue under the scotch tape, it sticks a whole lot more.

Sulli explored the construction of the Citycorp Tower, super glue, and what happened to Amelia Earhart.

But nowadays, everyone calls this super glue.

but the bottle exploded, filling my mouth with super glue.

It's interesting to see how baking soda in solution speeds up the polymerization of super glue.

The second problem is that over time, super glue in the body breaks down, and some of the things it breaks down into

And once that goes now it has the ability to go react with all those other super glue hungry monomers and rapidly polymerize.

When you grab something, your hand leaves behind moisture and oils that are perfect for super glue to bind with.

Now, unfortunately, the bottles for some types of super glue look incredibly similar to those for eyedrops.

Under tension, super glue is strongest when you pull in the same direction as the chains.

Now a bond breaking is bad, but there are some materials that super glue won't even stick to at all.

As a quick-thinking and experimentally-minded father, Coover got some super glue he brought home from the lab and applied it to the cut.

But his team soon ran into three key problems: First, as super glue sets, all those bonds forming release heat.

The US military was very interested in Coover's adhesive, and they developed a medical super glue spray for use in the Vietnam War.
