Some new methods for affixing sections to glass slides. II. Organic-solvent based adhesives
Abstract:
Adhesion of various organic-solvent based adhesives to glass slides could be greatly improved by first priming the slide with a copolymer of allyl methacrylate and methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane. The use of different solvents and types of adhesives with these slides is discussed. Cellulose nitrate in different esters of acetic acid proved to be an effective adhesive for varied sections at room temperature and in the cryostat. Carbowax sections as a special case preferably were affixed with polyisobutylene in petroleum ether. Most of the attachments formed resisted even boiling water.
