Super 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.

@ThatsMrPencilneck2U Год назад

This is exactly the level of explanation I want when describing subjects, like this. Everybody should have a functional level understanding of these things, before handling them, but when one has a few hours of college level chemistry, and wonders what's really going on, one doesn't want the kiddie explanation.

@skullandcrossbones65 Год назад

G'day, I hear all the words. I need the kiddie version

@csn583 Год назад

Ditto, perfect level for me. We in-betweeners are out here! The usual level of explanations always left me hanging with a "Wait, but why?!"

@jarnokorhonen900 Год назад

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.

@GoobertownHobbies 5 лет назад

@mekpriestchris8746 5 лет назад

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 лет назад

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!

@MrHitchikerOz Год назад

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.

Magic! (fluffy answer). Am going to have to try out that "insta-set" stuff, I hate holding on tell things dry.

@GoobertownHobbies 5 лет назад

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 is in Primers and or more specifically what Games Workshop uses in there spray can primers that makes the paint bond to the model so well.

Interesting idea- I'll look into this!!!

@ethangormong7506 Год назад

Nice video! As a Chem PhD grad who now works for an adhesives company I appreciated the approach.

@jonludwig8233 Год назад

Perfect level of detail, thanks! Nice to see something for folks with some chem understanding but not chemists. ❤️

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 лет назад

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!

@jherazob 2 года назад

Hey Brent, quick question long afterwards: Do you know if it's true that superglue accelerator makes the bond weaker? It's a common assumption among hobbyists and i don't know if it's true or not

@BariumCobaltNitrog3n Год назад

It seems like the bond might form unevenly.

I love this video! I understood most of this going in but you rounded my knowledge off on this wonderful product.

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.

As a Dentist I had my fair share of chemistry in my studies and I feared every test and exam! But this also prepared me for your exelent explanation of the chemistry of super glue. I enjoyd it and thank you for the good work.

@solarnaut Год назад

Hmmm, dare I ask - had a dentist describe glue he was using as 'basically super glue' ... - "little knowledge being a dangerous thing" I've since used super glue for "DIY temporary dental repairs" (supposing moisture basically turned it to plastic ?) ... though the chemistry sounds more involved. On the plus side, farts come out as bubble wrap ! B-)

@berndheiden7630 Год назад

@@solarnaut Not as a dentist but as an oral surgeon. Super glue is the same chemical used in tissue glues used in surgery. But we do have chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology lectures, courses and written and oral exams in our university education. I could not have explained the chemical reaction but I could follow the very instructional and clear explanation.

What are your cats' names? Cause that orange one looked so smug in the outro!

@GoobertownHobbies 5 лет назад

Gordon is the orange one, Snuffles is the gray one. They each have a couple of different expressions :-)

@MrVolvobloke 4 года назад

He was actually giving the glue a cat scan.

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.
