ABSTRACT The study of creating and transforming okra as alternative glue aims to prove that there are other resources from nature that can be derived of in making natural glue/adhesive. It can be valuable to those whose necessities are some materials as well as school supplies in school for making such paperwork. It is beneficial to those who want to be thrifty in buying materials for them to save money since this study can conduct in home as well as its

The researcher prepared substance like flour and water to make its ability more effective specifically to its ability to stick papers or other object to paper.
On the other hand, glue has contributed in making such things easier particularly to those students making their projects or some activities in school. They were spending money in buying glue instead of gaining savings for other purposes. In that case, they should need alternative way to avoid spending a lot in buying school materials.
Due to prior basis of related studies and conceptual experimentation of the researcher to this study, it would result to a comprehensive, long lasting, cheaper but good quality and useful glue for students and other individual.
B. Statement of the problem * Is it possible that okra can be alternative glue? How? * How can the mucilage be extracted outside the okra? * How long can the “gluekra” stick to the paper and other object that can stick to paper?
C. Hypothesis
It is possible that okra can transform as alternative glue. By extracting mucilage of it, that has the ability to produce a sticky texture as glue. By heating the upper part sliced okra, it extracts its mucilage to produce sticky substance. Since this project aims to make glue from okra, it will stick as long as other glue can.
D. Significance of the study
This outcome that follow significantly useful in such that it helps particularly to those
These steps would be repeated for all three paper towel brands. At the end of the experiment, the paper towel that held the most quarters would be the strongest. Data for experiment still needed to give a conclusion to project.
The materials that were used/needed in this experiment were a penny, water, soap, rubbing alcohol, a pipet, and a beaker.
In the experiment “White Before Your Eyes” four various white powders were experimented on using various liquids (baking soda, cornstarch, sugar and a mystery powder). The purpose of this experiment was to discover what powder/mixture of powders the substance was.
Duct tape: this is a long rope like material that is used to bind objects together. It is made of polyester materials, which makes it light in weight, strong and resistant to abrasion. The lengths of the tape are dependent of the purpose of the usage and are available in wide

Ambrose Bierce's Chickamauga is a disillusioned child's awakening. Literally, a six year old deaf boy is thrown into a most horrifically traumatic series of events. His story is relayed in the third person omniscient perspective through the eyes of the child as well as an elder. It takes place during the Civil War in a southern town. Chickamauga begins with the boy's entrance into the forest where he goes to play solitarily. With him he carries a toy wooden sword with which he battles imaginary enemies to their deaths. Lost in his adventure the boy grows tired and falls asleep between two rocks deep in the woods. While he is a sleep a battle occurs unbeknownst to him. Several hours later the child wakes up and notices alien

They were trying to figure out how much glue it will take for the stick to hold, and not slip off the cup.
Integra is a synthetic wound dressing frequently used to treat burn wounds (Figure 5). It is a bilayer composed of bovine tendon collagen glycosaminoglycan (chondroitin-6-sulphate) cross-linked to it, onto which a silicone (synthetic polysiloxane polymer) membrane is sealed to the upper surface to act as a protective temporary epidermis. The silicone layer is applied as a liquid monomer; curing occurs on the surface of the collagen at room temperature. It serves to control moisture loss from the wound. Water flux across this silicone membrane is the same as that across normal epidermis. The collagen-GAG matrix contains pores ranging from 70 to 200 µm that are invaded by host fibroblasts upon application to an excised wound bed. The pore size was carefully designed by adjusting the collagen-GAG mixture. In GAG-free collagen, the resulting structure was more closed than in collagen-GAG matrices. Smaller pores can delay, or even prevent, biointegration, whereas larger pores would provide an insufficient attachment area for invading host cells. Freeze-drying procedures followed by slow sublimation are used to control pore size too. The degradation rate of 30 days of the collagen-GAG sponge is controlled by glutaraldehyde-induced cross-links. The polypeptide collagen is used for its low levels of antigenicity (it has minimal rejection potential) and because it exerts a hemostatic effect on vascular wounds. Collagen is already found in skin. It is degraded by collagenase deposited
The slime is magnetic because there are iron filings in it. The slime is slimy because there are polymers which are long strands of molecules. The iron filings sticks to the slime because of adhesion which is the force that hold molecules of different substances together. The slime is bonded together by cohesion, and it is the force that hold the molecules of the same substance together. You should not make slime with borax because it is bad for the environment and toxic to insects and plants. When the school glue , borax , and water are combined, they make a slime like material known as a

Japanese magazines and salons all feature three dimensional nail art. Representing this cultural style are three dimensional plastic collectible figurines that “pop out” from nails. With a few glue and obvious coating, teddies, bows, as well as cookies, are stuck to nails. A couple of fun three dimensional mementos look cute on nails, however, many ladies have gone way overboard. On Pinterest, you can observe nails that appear to be like someone placed glue in it after which folded these questions random bucket of kid’s toys. You will see flowers, gems, bows, lollipops, pandas, and much more on this kind of nail.
The purpose of this study is to find out the success rate of bio-cellulose products on the healing process of chronic unhealing wounds and cost effectiveness of the product. The evaluation enlisted twenty patients with non-healing wounds. During the trial time of 2-4 weeks, those patients were treated with a biotechnology dressing mesh and gel combination, known as o Nanogen Aktiv and Aktigel. Nanogen Aktiv membrane dressing is a bio-cellulose membrane, plant-based collagen, manufactured from plant extract with a mimicking affect. It is loaded with vitamins, nutrients and enzymes. During the observation phase, researchers evaluated and reported the progress of healing. Eighteen out of the 20 patients saw their wounds heal. No recurrence have been reported
Then I peeled off all the paper I could reach standing on the floor. It sticks horribly and the pattern just enjoys it !’
