Glue and Gelatin
"Glue and Gelatin" provides an authoritative and comprehensive examination of the chemistry and manufacturing processes behind two of the most versatile industrial products of the early twentieth century. Jerome Alexander, a distinguished chemist, meticulously explores the physical and chemical properties of these substances, offering deep insights into their production from animal tissues and their diverse applications across various sectors.
The work delves into the scientific principles of colloid chemistry, explaining the behavior of glue and gelatin in different states and environments. Readers will find detailed discussions on the selection of raw materials, the technical stages of extraction and purification, and the methods used for testing and grading the final products. Beyond the technical manufacturing aspects, the book highlights the wide-ranging utility of these materials in industries as varied as woodworking, paper manufacturing, photography, and the food industry.
As a foundational text in industrial chemistry, "Glue and Gelatin" remains a significant resource for understanding the historical development of adhesive technology and protein-based additives. Its rigorous scientific approach and practical observations make it an essential study for those interested in the evolution of chemical engineering and the material sciences.
