Superglue: The Accidental Invention That Changed Everything From Wartime Failures to Medical Miracles and the Future of Plastics What if one of the world's most powerful and versatile inventions was never meant to exist? In a top-secret World War II lab, chemist Harry Coover was searching for a new clear plastic for gun sights. Instead, he stumbled upon cyanoacrylate, a substance so sticky it was deemed useless and abandoned. But fate had other plans. Years later, a chance experiment revealed that this so-called failure was actually one of the strongest adhesives ever discovered capable of bonding almost anything together in seconds. And so, superglue was born. But superglue's story doesn't end with fixing broken vases and model airplanes. It has saved lives on the battlefield, revolutionized modern medicine, solved crimes in forensic labs, and may even help fight plastic waste in the future. Its incredible journey from rejected mistake to $3 billion global industry is a testament to human ingenuity, perseverance, and the power of accidental discovery. 1. You Need to Read This Book
