Sticky Situation

Does anyone know how any types of glue work? How do they stick? Is it a chemical bond or maybe a secondary bond, like van der Waals or hydrogen bonding?

Speaking of sticking: Gecko tape

What’s the best super hero application for this tape?

I’m thinkin Still Man, a man with the power to remain in one spot despit his opponents best efforts.

Link found via googling: http://john.hultgren.org/trivia/glue.html That may help :cons:

Interesting, but I am still curious what is happening at the surface of a material, where it comes in contact with the glue. I saw that it said white glue forms a “flexible bond” but that is rather vague.

Thanks for the article though.
