Abstract

The researchers did a study of the production of glue from Euphorbia extract
because the researchers found the study interesting. They also think that glue is more
effective when made from a sticky component such as Euphorbia extract etc.
The researchers want to prove that euphorbia extract can be turned into effective
glue. The researchers also had doubts regarding the project like What will happen to
the euphorbia extract when mixed with vinegar, and also Will the euphorbia become
stickier if mixed with the raw materials? The researchers did this particular study for
they have noticed that the production of glue uses different chemicals of various
varieties.














CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

This project production of glue from euphorbia extract is helpful for it needs
materials that can already be found on our kitchens. It is accessible to all people. The
materials are easy to find and the procedure is easy to make.
Euphorbia can easily be found anywhere, according to a member; they had
euphorbia at nearby houses. The researcher planned on using Euphorbia not only to
produce glue but also enhance the durability of other glues. The Euphorbia species we
wanted to use is the well-known crown of thorns.
The researcher will have to test if the chemicals contained by the Euphorbia plant
can affect the result of the production because of some reports of poisoning if taken in
the stomach. Though, the purpose of the product is for bonding purposes, some
incidents can happen.
The researcher will have to test the plant for better production of the glue and
reduce the threat of having health problems to the one using it. Also, the strength of the
bonding will have to be tested.
The strength of the glue that will be produced









Statement of the Problem
This study is made particularly to answer the following;
1. Can the Euphorbia extract be combined with different
raw materials to produce glue?
2. Will the glue be effective on different substances?


Significance of the Study
This study is important because it provides us with accessible glue. It is
easy to make and it is not that expensive. The process is also time efficient.
Scope and Limitations
We focused our studies on euphorbia, a specific variety known as crown
of thorns. We plan to finish the project in ___________on_______________




CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE


Crown of thorns is a bushy, very spiny, semi-succulent shrub that gets about 3 ft
(1 m) in height, with a spread around 2 ft (60 cm). It has tough, leathery bright green
leaves on slender fleshy stems, but the leaves often drop off on all but the youngest
stems. The plant is sometimes completely leafless.
The well named crown of thorns is armed with half inch (13 mm) vicious black
thorns all over the stems and branches. In subtropical climates, crown of thorns bears
tiny yellow-green flowers surrounded by two showy bright red bracts in spring and
summer. In tropical climates, it blooms in cycles following rain throughout the year.
Like the other members of the genus, Euphorbia milii oozes milky sap from
bruised or broken stems and leaves. All euphorbs have a three-lobed fruit that splits
apart when ripe, but crown of thorns rarely fruits in cultivation.
Several named cultivars and varieties are noteworthy for their different colored
bracts (pink, yellow, white, orange) and/or different growth habits. This species also has
been hybridized with other euphorbs, resulting in cultivars with larger and flashier
bracts.
Euphorbia hybrids are truly tough plants and can take just about anything
including relatively dry or overly wet conditions, temperatures between 4 and 40+ deg
C, part shade to full sun and a variety of growing media. However, to give of their best
they do require moderation in all the above (they can survive lousy conditions but don't
enjoy them!).
Euphorbia milii are some of the few plants that can be repotted lower than the
original soil level without any problems- this becomes necessary with some grafted Thai
hybrid plants- planting them lower hides the union and since plants often get too tall, it
makes for a more proportional pot plant.
Euphorbiaceae, one of the largest families in the plant kingdom, is a very diverse
group that consists of thousands of species worldwide. The bulk of the species occurs
in Africa and Madagascar, but a few are native to the Canary Islands, Socotra, India
and the Americas. This family contains more succulent members than any other single
genus, however, when we think about Euphorbias, the first, and sometimes only,
member of this large family that springs to mind is the Poinsettia - the most popular,
best-selling potted plant in the United States; thats a tough act to follow.
