List Of Glues

	List Of Glues :''See adhesive for general discussion of glue.'' This is a list of various types of glue. Historically, the term "glue" only referred to protein colloids prepared from animal flesh. The meaning has been extended to refer to any fluid adhesive. There are many adhesive substances that are considered or commonly referred to as "glue". Plant- and animal-based adhesives Solvent-type glues Solvent adhesives temporarily dissolve the substance they are gluing, and bond by solvent- welding material together with the re-solidified material. Synthetic glues Synthetic monomer glues Synthetic polymer glues Thermoplastic polymers Thermoplastic glues including hot-melt adhesives cure reversibly as they cool, like the gelatin and keratin glues listed above. They frequently don't emit volatiles unless overheated. * Styrene acrylic copolymer – e.g. "No More Nails" Thermosetting polymers Thermosetting glues or thermosets cure irreversibly by polymerization. The polymerizati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Adhesive Adhesive, also known as glue, cement, mucilage, or paste, is any non-metallic substance applied to one or both surfaces of two separate items that binds them together and resists their separation. The use of adhesives offers certain advantages over other binding techniques such as sewing, mechanical fastenings, or welding. These include the ability to bind different materials together, the more efficient distribution of stress across a joint, the cost-effectiveness of an easily mechanized process, and greater flexibility in design. Disadvantages of adhesive use include decreased stability at high temperatures, relative weakness in bonding large objects with a small bonding surface area, and greater difficulty in separating objects during testing. Adhesives are typically organized by the method of adhesion followed by ''reactive'' or ''non-reactive'', a term which refers to whether the adhesive chemically reacts in order to harden. Alternatively, they can be organized eithe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Albumin Albumin is a family of globular proteins, the most common of which are the serum albumins. All the proteins of the albumin family are water-soluble, moderately soluble in concentrated salt solutions, and experience heat denaturation. Albumins are commonly found in blood plasma and differ from other blood proteins in that they are not glycosylated. Substances containing albumins are called ''albuminoids''. A number of blood transport proteins are evolutionarily related in the albumin family, including serum albumin, alpha-fetoprotein, vitamin D-binding protein and afamin. This family is only found in vertebrates. ''Albumins'' in a less strict sense can mean other proteins that coagulate under certain conditions. See for lactalbumin, ovalbumin and plant "2S albumin". Function Albumins in general are transport proteins that bind to various ligands and carry them around. Human types include: * Human serum albumin is the main protein of human blood plasma. It makes up around 50 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Hoof The hoof (plural: hooves) is the tip of a toe of an ungulate mammal, which is covered and strengthened with a thick and horny keratin covering. Artiodactyls are even-toed ungulates, species whose feet have an even number of digits, yet the ruminants with two digits, are the most numerous, e.g. giraffe, deer, bison, cattle, goat, and sheep. The feet of perissodactyl mammals have an odd number of toes, e.g. the horse, the rhinoceros, and the tapir. Hooves are limb structures restricted to placental mammals, which have long pregnancies; however, the marsupial ''Chaeropus'' had hooves. Description The hoof surrounds the distal end of the second phalanx, the distal phalanx, and the navicular bone. The hoof consists of the hoof wall, the bars of the hoof, the sole and frog and soft tissue shock absorption structures. The weight of the animal is normally borne by both the sole and the edge of the hoof wall. Hooves perform many functions, including supporting the weight of the animal ...

	Horn Glue Horn most often refers to: Horn (acoustic), a conical or bell shaped aperture used to guide sound * Horn (instrument), collective name for tube-shaped wind musical instruments Horn (anatomy), a pointed, bony projection on the head of various animals, either the "true" horn, or other horn-like growths * Horn, a colloquial reference to keratin, the substance that is the main component of the tissue that sheaths the bony core of horns and hoofs of various animals Horn may also refer to: Audio * Horn loudspeaker * Vehicle horn ** Train horn Personal name * Horn (surname) * Freyja, also known as ''Hörn'', a Norse goddess of love, beauty, fertility, war and death Places * Cape Horn, the southernmost point of South America * Horn of Africa, a peninsula in northeast Africa * Horn (district), a district of the state of Lower Austria in Austria ** Horn, Austria, a small town, capital of the Horn District * Horn, Germany, a municipality in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany * Horn, Hamb ...

	Hoof Glue Hoof glue is a form of animal glue made by boiling down the hooves of ungulates into partially hydrolyzed keratin. It is not to be confused with hide glue. History Hoof glue applications include stiffening bow strings, adhering fabric to wood, stiffening fabric, and sealing glass window frames and ceramic containers. Hoof glue is still used today in cabinetry and other fine woodworking projects where the joints must be capable of disassembly. Formulation The general process is to take the hooves of ungulates and break them into small chunks and then boil them in water until all the hoof material has been liquefied. An acid is then added to create a thick gel. The resultant product is then cooled and allowed to harden. Once melted, it is necessary to heat the glue substance until it is the required consistency – thin hoof glue can be used to stiffen fabrics; thicker glue is used in cabinetry. Usage The storable form of hoof glue is a hard block of resin-like material. To ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Keratin Glue Keratin () is one of a family of structural fibrous proteins also known as ''scleroproteins''. Alpha-keratin (α-keratin) is a type of keratin found in vertebrates. It is the key structural material making up Scale (anatomy), scales, hair, Nail (anatomy), nails, feathers, horn (anatomy), horns, claws, Hoof, hooves, and the outer layer of skin among vertebrates. Keratin also protects epithelial cells from damage or stress. Keratin is extremely insoluble in water and organic solvents. Keratin monomers assemble into bundles to form intermediate filaments, which are tough and form strong mineralization (biology), unmineralized epidermal appendages found in reptiles, birds, amphibians, and mammals. Excessive keratinization participate in fortification of certain tissues such as in horns of cattle and rhinos, and armadillos' osteoderm. The only other biology, biological matter known to approximate the toughness of keratinized tissue is chitin. Keratin comes in two types, the primitive, ...
