 RATIONALE

From school and offices, to homes and buildings, glue has always been present to help

people in their daily life. Glue is a sticky material that is used to make two or more objects

stick together such as paper.

There are so many types of glue available in the market. The glue’s strength depends on

the type of material you will apply. According to wikipedia, the first glues are made from

natural liquids that came out of trees after being cut that are called Latex. After a period of

time, people learned that boiling animal feet or bones could produce glue. Later on, people

found out that strong and durable glue can be made from fish bones, rubber or milk. However,

simple glue can be made at people’s homes by mixing wheat flour and water. This kind of

glue will stick pieces of paper together in order to craft something artistic or creative.

The goal of the researchers is to find out how effective homemade glue compared to its

commercial counter-parts, and how strong and durable homemade glue is.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

Glue is one of the best materials to use to make two or more objects stick together. The

creation of glue began around 200,000 BC to mix with paint for the drawings to last longer.

Glue was used to put two materials together. Glue is a good tool to use for sticking things

together This study is supported by Dr.Ammar Al-kawaz’s Wetting Theory, and

Dr.Ammar Al-kawaz’s Mechanical Theory.

 This study assumes that, home-made glue are watery and makes the glue spread to

the whole surface of the material. This connects to the theory of Dr.Ammar Al-kawaz’

Wetting Theory. According Dr.Ammar Al-kawaz, wetting theory proposes that adhesion

results from molecular contact of two materials and the surface that develop between them.

This theory states that adhesion results from the molecular contact between two objects and

the surface forces that develop.

According to Dr. Ammar Al-kawaz’s mechanical theory, adhesion occurs by the

penetration of the adhesives into pores, cavities and other surface imperfections on the

surface.. A positive contribution to the adhesive bond strength results from the “mechanical

interlocking” of the adhesive and the adherends. “Mechanical interlocking” also takes an

enormous amount of force to pull the adherend from the adhesive. Take a mother and a child

as an example. A mother holds her child’s hand, interlocking their hands together so that the

child wont let go. And it takes some amount of force to pull the child away from the mother

FIGURE I: SCHEMATIC FRAMEWORK

 Statement of the Problem:

• Is there a way to produce glue natural glue?

• Does milk glue work better compared to its commercial counter-parts?

• Is milk glue safe for children?

• What is the maximum bonding strength of the home-made glue

• Is it eco-friendly?

Hypothesis

The researchers hypothesized that the glue produced can be an alternative glue just in

case there is no available glue for emergency and that the physical properties and strength of

the Homemade glue are more

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study based upon the realistically of making ones own glue. Glue is an

necessary tool when it comes to crafts and arts. Mainly, when it comes to students in making

their projects.
This study will be a great benefit to the following.

Students

As a students we all need glue to paste our arts and crafts that we made.

Teachers

The teachers also need glue in order to paste their creativity to create an artistic lesson

plan.

People in the office

They might also need glue so that they can paste their finished project to be submitted

to their boss.

Scope and Limitation

This study has certain limitation that will help make the research more specific and keep

the study on track to achieve its intended purpose.

This study will be conducted on the University of San Jose-Recoletos, an Augustinian

Recollect school located in Arpili, Balamban, Cebu. This study aims to know the physical

properties and strength of Homemade Glue (Casein), in comparison to its contemporary

commercial products.

The aspects that will be excluded in this study are health effects and cost, as it is not vital
to the study nor is it a vital key in finding The physical properties and strength of Homemade

glue.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The study manipulate the descriptive method of research using distribution of survey

sheets or questionaires of our study where data is gathered. In senior highschool, each student

will be given a certain number of questionnaires for its students to be answered.

Research environment

This study was conducted in the University of San Jose - Recoletos Balamban Campus

which is located at Baranggay Arpili, Balamban, Cebu. It has the curricular programs of

nursery, kindergarten, elementary, junior highschool, senior highschool and RITTC.

Research Respondents

The research respondents consists of 30 male students and 20 female students from the

senior high school department of the University of San Jose - Recoletos Balamban Campus.

Research instruments

The instruments to be used in gathering data are questionnaires with structured questions.

Data Gathering Procedures

Both academic and student’s welfare coordination will be asked for permission to conduct a

survey on the stated study. When it’s granted, the said students will be distributed if the

questionnaires will granted. These questionnaires distributed, analyzed, and presented.

Treatment of the Data

The datas collected through a survey, which will be analyzed and suggest for the project

proposal.
 DEFINITION OF TERMS

Casein Glue - made from casein; is known to be very strong over a long period of time

and waterproof.

Casein - main protein from milk.

Adhesive - capable of holding materials together in a functional manner.

Force - object’s interaction with another object.

Wheat flour - a powder made from the grinding of wheat and an ingredient in making a

casein glue.

Adherent - an object or material used on the adhesive or glue.

Students - refers to students who use glue on daily basis.

Teachers - refers to teachers who use glue on paper works, and other tasks.
People in the office - also known as employees who works in a business.

Endurable - this refers to how long the glue can stick to an object.

Bond strength - this refers to how durable the bonding strength of the glue.
