There are many kinds of glues. These include the following types, but there are many different bases and variations.
===Cyanoacrylate ("Super Glue")===
===Cyanoacrylate ("Super Glue")===
Cyanoacrylate (C5H5NO2) glues are one of the most popular types of glue in use today. This type of glue is best known as "Super Glue," although other brand names exist, such as Krazy Glue.<ref>http://www.krazyglue.com/about-us</ref> Super Glue bonds surfaces together through a process called anionic polymerization, which basically means that when exposed to water, the glue molecules link together into chains, forming a microscopic plastic mesh. This is an exothermic reaction, so particularly when large amounts are used, the glue can heat up significantly as it cures.<ref>https://home.howstuffworks.com/question695.htm</ref> There are multiple variations, but this is a synthetic glue composed of acrylic resin, which offers a high tensile strength but low impact strength. This type of glue works very well with plastics and synthetic rubber, but also works on many other materials, such as fabrics and hardwood. Liquid Super Glue can be dissolved in acetone, but once it cures, this solvent no longer has an affect.<ref>https://www.adhesives.org/adhesives-sealants/adhesive-selection/types-of-glue-glue-tips</ref>
