General description
Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate belongs to the class of monomers known as cyanoacrylates. Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate polymers are primarily used as adhesives due to their fast-setting and strong bonding properties. They are widely utilized for bonding a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, rubber, ceramics, and wood. These adhesives are used in industries such as automotive, electronics, crafts, and general repairs. Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate adhesives find applications in industrial and manufacturing processes. They are used for sealing products, encapsulating electronics, and securing parts during assembly.
Application
Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate, commonly known as super glue, has several uses in the field of bioadhesives:
- Wound Closure: Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate is often used in medical settings to close small cuts and wounds. It forms a strong bond when it comes into contact with moisture, effectively sealing the wound.
- Tissue Adhesives: In surgical and medical applications, ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate is used to adhere tissues together. It can be used as an alternative to traditional sutures or staples in certain procedures.
- Drug Delivery Systems: In some cases, ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate has been investigated as a component in drug delivery systems and tissue engineering due to its biocompatibility and ability to form strong bonds with biological materials.
- It can also be mixed with hydrophobic silica nanoparticles for the designing of cotton fabrics for medical applications.

Applications of cyanoacrylate monomers are generally limited to adhesives/glues (instant or superglues) and forensic sciences. They tend to polymerize rapidly into rigid structures when exposed to trace amounts of moisture. Transforming cyanoacrylate monomers into transparent polymeric films or coatings can
