Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain adhesive types and how they work, help choose the right adhesive for materials and conditions, give safety guidance, and describe industrial and medical uses.

A substance applied to surfaces to bind them together by adhesion and cohesion, including natural glues from animal and plant sources such as soybean glue, synthetic adhesives such as polyester resins, epoxies, cyanoacrylates and rubber glues, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and bioadhesives used in medicine; adhesives are chosen by substrate, strength, flexibility and conditions and are regulated for safety and emissions.

What it is for: Bonding surfaces together.

It can be explain adhesive types; help choose an adhesive; give safety guidance; describe industrial and medical uses.
