2. Rubber cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_cement

   Rubber cement (cow gum in British English) is an adhesive made from elastic polymers (typically latex) mixed in a solvent such as acetone, hexane, heptane or toluene to keep it fluid enough to be used. This makes it part of the class of drying adhesives: as the solvents quickly evaporate, the rubber solidifies, forming a strong yet flexible bond.

3. Adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive

   Natural rubber-based sticky adhesives were first used on a backing by Henry Day (US Patent 3,965) in 1845. [20] Later these kinds of adhesives were used in cloth backed surgical and electric tapes. By 1925, the pressure-sensitive tape industry was born. [3]

4. Pressure-sensitive adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_adhesive

   Styrene block copolymers (SBC), also called styrene copolymer adhesives and rubber-based adhesives, have good low-temperature flexibility, high elongation, and high heat resistance. They are frequently used in hot melt adhesive applications, where the composition retains tack even when solidified; however non-pressure-sensitive formulations are ...

5. Hot-melt adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-melt_adhesive

   Hot-melt adhesive (HMA), also known as hot glue, is a form of thermoplastic adhesive that is commonly sold as solid cylindrical sticks of various diameters designed to be applied using a hot glue gun.

6. Silicone rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

   In its uncured state, silicone rubber is a highly adhesive gel or liquid. To convert it to a solid, it must be cured, vulcanized, or catalyzed. This is normally carried out in a two-stage process at the point of manufacture into the desired shape, and then in a prolonged post-cure process. It can also be injection molded or 3D printed.

7. Chemistry of pressure-sensitive adhesives - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry_of_pressure...

   Pressure sensitive adhesives are viscoelastic polymers with their rheology tuned to the desired bonding and de-bonding characteristics needed. [5] Typical materials used to make the adhesive include: acrylate polymer, [6] rubber, either natural rubber or synthetic thermoplastic elastomer [7] silicone rubber; and others
