Chemistry Ph.D. Explains how Super Glue Actually Works.
Рет қаралды 664,617
5 жыл бұрынSuper Glue is awesome, but it doesn't need to be mysterious! The chemistry of superglue, AKA cyanoacrylate, explains how it hardens and holds. The way it reacts with baking soda, water vapor, super glue accelerator, and debonder all make sense!
Everyone has used superglue. If you want to know how it REALLY works, this video is for you.

I also agree, Goob has a knack for education. There were nice explanations on various levels and this is a sweet spot for popular science approach in my opinion. Not being afraid of providing actually quite a lot of in-depth knowledge without reverting to insane expert jargon. At the same time not offering a reaaaally dumbed down version that leaves someone like me with some (quite basic) college chemistry starving for something a little more substantial than just "this is a liquid that turns hard and grabs two things and keeps them together". Keep it going man! And also the baking soda trick is really useful and I'd like to see it a little more often in miniature building context. I've quite often seen it in fishing lure building that I also dabble in. You can actually fill very big gaps quite easily and it's also quite easy to work with (like sanding etc).

As an interesting aside: Super Glue, like many awesome inventions, was created by accident. In the second world war, specifically 1942, the allies were trying to develop a cost effective alternative to glass for use in gun sights. During attempts to produce such a material, they accidentally created what we now call super-glue. Believe it or not, the trial was considered an abject failure, and it wasn't until several years after war ended that anyone else realized cyanoacrylate had potential commercial appeal. This awesome little glue was nearly never known to the world because it didn't make good gun sights. On another aside: I loved the vid, as I'm an amateur chemistry buff.

You sir, have just fixed the largest hole in my chemistry knowledge. School literally never explained how or why chemicals actually start reacting when they are already stable enough to exist happily. But of course parts of the molecule will be charged differently, even though they are bonded internally. And that’s why catalysts are so often important to spark the reaction but not in the final product. They interrupt the standard form of the molecule with an alternative arrangement, ionising part of the molecule, which then looks elsewhere for a bond. It makes so much sense now!
@GoobertownHobbies 5 жыл бұрын
I'm glad I could help! The majority of chemical reactions follow that nucleophile/electrophile model where a pair of reactive electrons find a better place to be to start off the reaction. Another mechanism I might talk about someday is radical polymerization which involves the movement of single electrons. Those UV curing resins might be a good opportunity to bring that up on the channel!

As a retired crime scene investigator, I often used CA to develop fingerprints on smaller items. Now I understand why the development enclosure contained a device that was designed to slightly raise the internal humidity. Awesome!

It is so rare to have my brain tingled by explanations of how things work. You explained it very well, at least I think you did from my lay-person's level of knowledge. Excellent.

As a chem teacher your explanations with diagrams are excellent. Have you considered teaching videos ? Teaching isn an art& you are a great artist

To be honest the in-depth explanation suits the subject and the mechanism going on - I am also an engineer and that stuff comes in very handy

Great idea for a video series. I'd love to see green stuff examined in this level of detail. And one specific question I have is why temperature alters curing rate.
@Inherent_Deterrent 5 жыл бұрын
i second this
@GoobertownHobbies 5 жыл бұрын
Green stuff is definitely on my list! I've never paid much attention to cure rate when I work with green stuff, but if it cures faster at higher temperature (faster when warm yes?) then I have a good explanation for it! :-)
@MrHitchikerOz Жыл бұрын
Most chemical reactions (which includes the polymerisation of CA's) are accelerated with heat. CA's also generate a lot of heat when curing. You can see this occurring by spilling some on a cotton cloth, you will see steam coming from the cloth - hence the reason cotton gloves are not recommended when working with CA's. You risk a serious burn when this happens.

Very interesting....Thanks for the direct "nuts and bolts" scientific explanation. I can't stand the videos with the "fluffy" incomplete answers. Now I know more than I need to know about superglue and can apply that knowledge to practical applications..... Cool.....

It was invented in Kingsport, TN at Eastman Kodak by accident . Used to be called Eastman 910. The chemist that discovered it came to our chemistry class in 10th grade and told us all about it. He passed away a few yrs ago. Lots of stuff we use (d) is from there. World HQ of Eastman Chemical now.

Magic! (fluffy answer). Am going to have to try out that "insta-set" stuff, I hate holding on tell things dry.
@GoobertownHobbies 5 жыл бұрын
Yeah! It's nice for filling gaps too because you don't get the weird bubbling and wandering of the superglue the way you get when it "air dries."

Be careful and try it on a piece of sprue first, some contain solvents that will dissolve styrene.

What do the polymer chains look like after a debonder is used? Do the carbon chains return to a double bond? Does the debonder cause other parts of the chain to bond differently?
@GoobertownHobbies 5 жыл бұрын
Good question! The debonder is just dimethylformamide (DMF) which acts as a solvent. None of the bonds in the polymer are broken, whole polymer chains get dissolved into the DMF liquid. It actually takes quite a lot to break a C-C bond, those stay right where they are!
