A. Background of the Study:
This experiment aims to develop a product that would serve as an alternative for some expensive commercial glue. There are many people-using cigarette and after using they just toss aside a cigarette while walking not thinking that it can be recycle and used. Commercial glue is relatively expensive because the materials used in manufacturing are tissues from animals.
B. Problem:
This study aims to test the feasibility of using cigarette filter as a source of glue.
C. Hypothesis:
Alternative- hypothesis:
Cigarette filter is a good source in producing glue.
Null- Hypothesis:
Cigarette filter is not a good source in producing glue.
D. Significance:
Glue is very common used in homes, schools and offices. Many people just toss aside a cigarette filter and it can be recycled and used. Due to the expensiveness and unaffordable of some glue, many would prefer making home made glue. Glues from cigarette filter is affordable and easy to make.
E. Scope and Limitation:
This study only limited by their stickiness. There are many kinds of glues, they are stick glues, paper glues, glitter glues and etc. This glue differ according to its quality. This glue that we made can’t be used as stick glue because the glue that we made is liquid. This study is limited only for paper, cloth and wood.
F. Definition of Terms:
