  2. Cyanoacrylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate

    It can be used as a fast-drying, glossy finish. An oil, such as boiled linseed oil, may be used to control the rate at which the cyanoacrylate cures. Cyanoacrylate glue is also used in combination with sawdust (from a saw or sanding) to fill voids and cracks. These repair methods are used on piano soundboards, wood instruments, and wood ...

  3. Indole-3-acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indole-3-acetic_acid

    Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, 3-IAA) is the most common naturally occurring plant hormone of the auxin class. It is the best known of the auxins, and has been the subject of extensive studies by plant physiologists. [1] IAA is a derivative of indole, containing a carboxymethyl substituent. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in polar organic ...

  4. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    Glacial acetic acid is used in analytical chemistry for the estimation of weakly alkaline substances such as organic amides. Glacial acetic acid is a much weaker base than water, so the amide behaves as a strong base in this medium. It then can be titrated using a solution in glacial acetic acid of a very strong acid, such as perchloric acid. [52]

  5. Acrylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_acid

    Acrylic acid and its esters readily combine with themselves (to form polyacrylic acid) or other monomers (e.g. acrylamides, acrylonitrile, vinyl compounds, styrene, and butadiene) by reacting at their double bond, forming homopolymers or copolymers, which are used in the manufacture of various plastics, coatings, adhesives, elastomers, as well ...

  7. Peracetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peracetic_acid

    Peracetic acid (also known as peroxyacetic acid, or PAA) is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CO 3 H. This peroxy acid is a colorless liquid with a characteristic acrid odor reminiscent of acetic acid. It can be highly corrosive. Peracetic acid is a weaker acid than the parent acetic acid, with a pK a of 8.2. [2]

  8. Hydrogel agriculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogel_agriculture

    Hydrogel agriculture technology uses insoluble gel-forming polymers to improve the water-holding properties of different soils, such as clays and sandy loams. This can increase water-holding and water use (up to 85% for sand), improve soil permeability, reduce the need for irrigation, reduce compaction, soil erosion , and leaching, and improve ...

  9. Polyacrylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyacrylic_acid

    Polyacrylic acid is a weak anionic polyelectrolyte, whose degree of ionisation is dependent on solution pH. In its non-ionised form at low pHs, PAA may associate with various non-ionic polymers (such as polyethylene oxide, poly-N-vinyl pyrrolidone, polyacrylamide, and some cellulose ethers) and form hydrogen-bonded interpolymer complexes.
