Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the elastic modulus of Crazy Glue, exploring its mechanical properties and the expectations surrounding adhesive stiffness. Participants inquire about specific values and share references related to the topic.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for the elastic modulus of Crazy Glue.
  • Another participant cites a reference that provides a value of 1.2 GPa for the elastic modulus of Crazy Glue.
  • One participant expresses surprise at the reported value, suggesting that they expected a cured adhesive to be stiffer.
  • A later reply acknowledges the provided value of 1.2 GPa.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the expected stiffness of Crazy Glue, with some expressing surprise at the reported value, indicating differing expectations regarding its mechanical properties.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not clarify the conditions under which the elastic modulus was measured or the specific type of Crazy Glue referenced, which may affect the applicability of the cited value.

Hi..
Anybody knows the Elastic modulus of crazy glue?
Thanks
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Helbawi's "Difference in subsurface damage in indented specimens with and without bonding layer," Int J Mech Sci 43 1107-1121 (2001) gives the value to be 1.2 GPa, which seems about right.
 
Huh. I would have thought a cured adhesive would be a lot more stiff than that. Ya learn something new every day.
 
1.2 GPa? Thanks for your information.
