 * Super Glue **

 You probably have used glue many times in your life, but how many times have you used super glue? Did you ever wonder what makes super glue so super? Why does super glue dry almost instantaneously? To answer those questions, first you must ask the main question, what is Super glue? Well, Super glue is a fast acting adhesive material known as __ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate__ or if the Super glue is used for metals, __methyl-2-cyanoacrylate__ (the formula for cyanoacrylate is, C5H5NO2). Super glue is sold all around the world as an instant adhesive. Its primary use is as an adhesive to create very strong bonds with materials that sometimes even contain traces of water! This means that Super glue is quite water proof.



**What makes Super Glue “Super”? **

The main attributes that makes super glue “super” are: its low shearing ability, its resistance to water and its bonding properties with metals. Also some super glues are also heat resistant. Although there any many ingredients in Super glue, the most important ingredient that makes super glue adhesive is __methyl-2-cyanoacrylate __ or __ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate __ (depending on what the super glue is being used for). ** About Super Glue and it ****s History ** Superglue is non-toxic, but it can have an irritating effect on the eyes and can start asthma in rare situations. Super glue was first discovered by accident by Harry Coover during World War II while he was trying to make gun-sight lenses, even though Harry Coover failed at making the gun-sight lenses, because of his failure he discovered a sticky compound now known as Super glue. Back in Harry Coover’s time, cyanoacrylate was first used to create Super glue and was commercialized under the name of 'Flash Glue'. **How to remove Super glue? **  Although Super glue is extremely strong and can bond many things, it still has a weakness, Acetone. Acetone is used to remove many things and is the main ingredient of Nail Polish remover. So if you ever get Super glue on your skin, don’t fret, just grab some Nail polish remover and it’ll come right off.
 * Other uses of Super glue **

 Dentists use cyanoacrylate in dental cement and in fillings. Also paleontologists use Superglue to reorganize and rearrange fossil fragments which are very fragile. Super glue has also been very effective in cartilage, skin and bone transplant procedures. Below is a video that uses super glue and cotton balls to create fire, this is due to the violent reaction between the 2 materials.

For example modern day Super glue is non toxic which means whenever its being used, the environment will be safe, but when super glue initially came out, it was toxic. As technology increases, new ways of creating super glue are being release, for example, scientists are finding more natural ways to create super glue.

**Super Glue Facts ** **1. Super Glue bonds instantly, but after it’s been applied it remains sticky until another object actually makes the connection between two surfaces! ** **2. Several drops of super glue can ho ****<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">ld a truck in the air! **

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">3. I learned that Iodine can contaminate the land by entering the air using vaporization and Iodine in the air will combine with water particles and precipitate into water or soils (land).

I learned that we divide Combustion of Hydrocarbon into Complete and Incomplete. This depends on the resultant product.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">2. I learned that a incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons happens when the amount of oxygen present is limited.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">3. I learned that Hydrocarbon Combustion can cause air pollution and its toxins are hazardous to our health.
