...monomer is [Figure 39] Figure 39 and being a small molecule, has a very low viscosity (Et is the abbreviation for the ethyl group −C2H5). This is an important property for adhesion, because it means that the liquid when applied to the broken pot will penetrate even the finest cracks in the fractured surfaces. Such surfaces will normally already be very slightly wet with water from the atmosphere (a monomolecular film is ......
