Super glue, or cyanoacrylate
Super glue, or cyanoacrylate adhesive, was accidentally discovered by Dr. Harry Coover, a chemist at Eastman Kodak, in 1942. While researching clear plastic gun sights, Coover encountered cyanoacrylate, a compound that polymerized instantly upon contact with moisture, forming a strong bond. Initially dismissed due to its stickiness, it was re-discovered in 1951 for its adhesive properties. Eastman Kodak launched the first cyanoacrylate adhesive, branded as "Eastman #910," in 1958. This accidental discovery revolutionized the adhesive industry, offering a fast-bonding solution for various materials and applications, from household repairs to industrial uses.
