2. Plastic welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_welding

   This technique is commonly used for connecting PVC and ABS pipe, as in household plumbing. The "gluing" together of plastic (polycarbonate, polystyrene or ABS) models is also a solvent welding process. Dichloromethane (methylene chloride) can solvent weld polycarbonate and polymethylmethacrylate. It is a primary ingredient in some solvent ...

3. Solvent bonding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent_bonding

   Solvent bonding (also called solvent welding) is not a method of adhesive bonding (the final result does not rely on the adhesion of another substance [adhesive] and its cohesion between two substrates), but rather a method of fusing two thermoplastic plastics.

4. Polyvinyl acetate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_acetate

   PVAc dispersions such as Elmer's Glue-All contain polyvinyl alcohol as a protective colloid. In alkaline conditions, boron compounds such as boric acid or borax cause the polyvinyl alcohol to cross-link, forming tackifying precipitates or toys, such as Slime and Flubber. A number of microorganisms can degrade polyvinyl acetate.

5. Hot-melt adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-melt_adhesive

   The glue squeezed out of the heated nozzle is initially hot enough to burn and even blister skin. The glue is sticky when hot, and solidifies in a few seconds to one minute. Hot-melt adhesives can also be applied by dipping or spraying, and are popular with hobbyists and crafters both for affixing and as an inexpensive alternative to resin casting.

6. Curing (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curing_(chemistry)

   Curing is a chemical process employed in polymer chemistry and process engineering that produces the toughening or hardening of a polymer material by cross-linking of polymer chains. [1]

7. Adhesive bonding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive_bonding

   At that time, stamp adhesives consisted of naturally occurring raw materials such as molasses, potato starch and occasionally fish glue, but these performed poorly. So, the stamps either stuck together or fell off prematurely and emitted an unpleasant odour. In addition, the stamps had to be moistened before fixing, which was often done by licking.
