Adhesives
11/7/2008
“Glue or adhesive is a compound that adheres or bonds two
items together. Adhesives may come from either natural or synthetic sources.
Some modern adhesives are extremely strong, and are becoming increasingly
important in modern construction and industry.”

Notes
“The first adhesives were natural gums and other plant resins or saps. It was
believed that the Sumerian people were the first to use them until it was
discovered that Neanderthals as far back as 80,000 years made adhesives from
birch bark The discovery of 6000-year-old ceramics brought evidence to
archaeologists about the first practical uses and ingredients of the first
adhesives. Most early adhesives were animal glues made by rendering animal
products such as horse teeth. During the times of Babylonia, tar-like glue was
used for gluing statues. The Egyptians made much use of animal glues to adhere
furniture, ivory, and papyrus. The Mongols also used adhesives to make their
short bows, and the Native Americans of the eastern United States used a mixture
of spruce gum and fat as adhesives to fashion waterproof seams in their
birchbark canoes.”

“In medieval Eurasia, egg whites were used as glue to decorate parchments
with gold leaf. The first actual glue factory was founded in Holland in the
early 1700s. In the 1750s, the English introduced fish glue. As the modern world
evolved, several other patented materials, such as bones, starch, fish, and
casein, were introduced as alternative materials for glue manufacture. Modern
glues have improved flexibility, toughness, curing rate, and chemical
resistance.”
