Discovery of a fluorescent adhesive: a case of serendipity
Abstract
A light yellow luminescence is emitted when an adhesive binding two sheets of paper is stretched. The adhesive present on the paper is found to be fluorescent. The paper, even without the adhesive, is found to be fluorescent. The fluorescent nature of the materials has been confirmed by fluorescence spectra.
