Additional features and aspects of the present invention will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading and understanding the following detailed description of the exemplary embodiments. As will be appreciated by the skilled artisan, further embodiments of the invention are possible without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Accordingly, the following descriptions are to be regarded as illustrative and not restrictive in nature.
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below. Although the following detailed description contains many specifics for the purposes of illustration, a person of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that many variations and alterations to the following details are within the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the following embodiments of the invention are set forth without any loss of generality to, and without imposing limitations upon, the claimed invention.
As previously stated, the present invention relates in general to liquid glue preparations/formulations and methods for making the same, and more specifically to a multi-functional aqueous liquid glue having improved viscidity and luminous and glittering effects, and methods for making the same. The multi-functional aqueous liquid glue of the present invention is soluble in water, can be cleaned by or with water, and can be used in coloring and drawing on papers, glass, ceramics and other materials, which may or may not have rough textures. By using a borax solution and boric acid solution, the present invention can be transformed from a liquid form to gelatinous multi-color slime having a luminous effect. Luminous powder with a waterproof coating is optionally used in such a slime process. In a preferred ratio scheme, the slime, when excited by light, still exhibits luminosity after three hours. In preparing the glue formulas of the present invention, a suspending agent is firstly added to deionized water having a temperature of 10° C. to 30° C. with continuous high-speed cutting and dispersion to obtain a gel-like system having a high-suspension capacity and the temperature is subsequently raised rapidly to 80° C. to 90° C. The adhesive is then added with continuous dispersion to finally obtain a colloidal dispersed system having a three-dimensional net structure. This system provides a large surface area, high adsorption capacity, and strong suspension capacity. Thus, after adsorption of subsequently added luminous powder (which is high-content metal oxide, and which is more than three times the weight of the system itself) and glitter powder (which is slightly higher than the weight of the system), the system can still maintain a suspension condition. In addition, a water-soluble pigment can be added to the system as required to prepare multi-functional liquid glue.
Compared to prior art systems, the multi-functional liquid glue of the present invention provides an aqueous feature, is super sticky, and includes luminous and glittering effects. The liquid glue of the present invention has various characteristics which can be used in various applications; thus, it is not necessary to buy liquid glue separately for such applications.
