Odour & Flavour

Alicyclic mono and diacrylates from alpha-pinene and beta-pinene derivatives were synthesised and characterized spectroscopically. They were then compounded in alkyl 2-cyanoacrylate adhesives as crosslinkers. Their effect on the adhesive bond strengths after exposing the adhesive bonds to various temperatures, was studied.

A sterile or non-sterile flavored monomeric adhesive composition includes a flavoring additive and a monomer. The composition can be applied, for example, to skin or the inside of the mouth. A method of making a sterile, flavored adhesive composition includes placing a mixture of a polymerizable adhesive monomer and a flavoring additive in a container, sealing the container, and sterilizing the mixture and the container. The flavored adhesive composition is particularly useful as a medical adhesive and can include 1,1 -disubstituted ethylene monomers, such as -cyanoacrylates.
