Super Glue

Harry Coover a chemist who worked for a company called Eastman Kodak on the year of 1942 he and his team had a task to find a clear plastic for gun lids during the world war one. During their research they came across a family of compounds called Cyano – Acrylates. To their surprise it stuck to everything so it had to be discarded. 9 years later after the war Coover worked at another Kodak chemical plant called Kodak in Tennesee. Here he had to find heat resistant polymers again he and his team came across the Cyano – Acrylates being too sticky for the job the team discarded it. But this time Coover had an idea so he worked on it some more. While working he realised that these Cyano – Acrylates become extremely strong and deceive in the presence of water molecules like in the air. This meant that they can be used anytime and anywhere. And in 1950 he launched the super glue.
