Chapter I Altreb

This document provides background information on casein glue and outlines the researcher's plan to study how to make casein glue from milk. Specifically, it introduces casein glue and its historical uses. It then states the research problem as understanding the process of making casein glue from milk. The researcher hypothesizes that the ingredients are inexpensive and accessible, homemade glue will be similar to store-bought varieties, and many can benefit from learning this process. The significance is teaching students how to make affordable glue without chemicals. The scope is limited to creating glue using kitchen materials like milk, vinegar, baking soda and water.

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the study

Glue may be used interchangeably with adhesive, or paste, and is any


substance applied to one surface, or both surfaces, of two separate items that
binds them together and resists their separation. There is hardly any product that
does not contain at least one adhesive be it the label on a beverage bottle,
protective coatings on automobiles, or profiles on window frames. Market
researchers forecast a turnover of almost US$50 billion for the global adhesives
market in 2019.

Glue can be made from milk by souring it using vinegar. Casein is a protein
found in milk and these proteins are hydrophobic, meaning it repel water
molecules. Since Casein also repels each other, they remain suspended in the
milk. When vinegar is added in the milk, Casein will be separated into curds and
whey. The curds can be neutralized by various bases to produce a variety of
different glues

The researcher chooses this project so that she and other students will no
longer need to buy expensive commercial glues from the market. The finished
product is also non-toxic since the materials used to create it are natural. In
addition to that, the introduction of the product may help lessen the demand for
commercially produced glue which often contains toxic preservatives that may
harm the environment or the product user. Moreover, students may develop
creativity skills in developing glue. The product also has a potential of becoming
a source of income for those who wanted to market it.

B. Theoretical/Conceptual Framework

There have been many uses for casein glue throughout history. There are
records that show it was created and used by the ancient Egyptians. It was
employed in the Middle Ages to bind together thin panels into thicker plates on
which artists could paint. It also is believed to be used by makers of famous
musical instruments that have lasted for a century or more. It was used
extensively in woodworking, furniture making and even to assemble early
wooden aircraft.

C. Statement of the Problem

The study focuses on the process on how to create of casein glue


from milk. It seeks to answer the following questions:
1. Are the ingredients easy to find? Can the people who will make this
glue afford the materials needed?
2. Which is more effective the commercial ones or the Homemade
Glue which is only made of milk?
3. Who can benefit in this study?
D. Hypothesis

The researcher formulates the following hypothesis:

1. The ingredients are easy to find since these ingredients can be


found in the kitchen. People who want to do this experiment can
afford the ingredients because they are affordable.
2. Homemade glue is similar to commercially produced in the market.
3. People who are interested in making glue out of can benefit in this
study.

E. Significance of the Study

The design of the research is to help my fellow students on how to


make glue and not buy expensive glues. In this kind of study, students will
know how to make glue made out of milk, vinegar, baking soda and water.

F. Scope and Limitations

The investigatory project focuses on the process of creating glue


from milk. The limitation of the study is to make homemade glue using
only materials found in the kitchen.

G. Definition of Terms
Glue - An adhesive substance used for sticking objects or materials
together.
Casein Glue - A water-resistant adhesive made from casein and usually
hydrated lime and mixed with cold water for use especially in making
plywood and furniture
Adhesive - able to stick fast to a surface or object; sticky.
Milk - an opaque white fluid rich in fat and protein, secreted by female
mammals for the nourishment of their young.
