The funniest thing behind the discovery of the world's most popular super glue this is actually the glue that is made because of the failure of an experiment conducted by a chemist named Harry Coover.
At first, he was experimenting to make a gun sight (sight glass on the weapon) are made of plastic using chemical cyanoacrylate. But the experiment failed miserably and ended up being a super-powered glue called 'Super Glue'.
This product became very popular and in demand in the market and sold more than 2 trillion product until now. This is a failure of the most profitable ever.
8. William Henry Perkin: Mauveine
Henry Perkin was a British chemist who discovered Mauveine, the first synthetic dye, when she was 18 years old. He found the dye by accident while trying to produce a cure for malaria. Not long after that, he patented the manufacturing process, and one year later he built a factory called Greenford Green.Dia started his business by selling the dye and quite popular. At the end of 1860, Mauveine has spread across the country and William became a millionaire before the age of 36 years. He then sold the company to buy a lab to conduct other research.
7. Roy Plunkett : Teflon

But rather than throw it away, he decided to investigate and found that the material contained something unusual. In 1945, he gave the idea of trademarks and within a few years the company earn billions of dollars in profit. He announced his retirement in 1975.
6. Leo Hendrik Baekeland: Bakelite
In 1907, a Belgian chemist named Leo Baekeland found polymer Bakelite. This polymer is an important material for kitchen appliances, radio and telephone. He accidentally found a replacement when planning to make lacquer (wood coatings), but failed. He also tried heating elements that failed on an iron pot and did not think he had invented Bakelite. In 1910, he established company in the field of kitchen equipment and does not require a long time to get a profit of millions of dollars.
5. Robert Chesebrough : Vaseline
Chese Robert Brough 22 years old when he decided to work in the oil industry. One day, in an oil, he found a liquid oil that is usually referred to as one of the candles. But he saw that the material can heal wounds in human skin. Entrepreneurial soul encourages him to take the material home and studied it. After some trial and error, he managed to extract petroleum jelly which ended up being an early form of Vaseline. In 1880, Robert suddenly rich after he sell his invention.
4. Joseph McVicker : Play-Doh
You know, the toys 'evening' color is usually used as children's toys? In 1952, a man named Joseph McVicker was just an ordinary employee who works at a company called Kutol.

He also gave a dye into a dough that makes it attractive dough. Some time after that, Joseph set up a company and a profit of millions of dollars.
3. Arthur Fry : Post-It Notes
Arthur Fry, an American scientist who in 1973, on a Sunday in a church, found this brilliant idea. Arthur had an unpleasant moment when he finished the book, and when he wanted to continue reading the next day he forgot keberapa should continue from the page. He was imagining if he put a small paper in between the pages, it will be a better reminder. And because of his imagination that he created a product which ultimately made him wealthy.
2. Percy Spencer : Microwave Oven
Percy Spencer is a scholar of American engineering is assigned to investigate a machine that can detect enemy aircraft during World War 2 ago. At the time of his research, he accidentally melted a candy in his pocket because the microwaves are emitted from the plane detection engine. He then tried it on corn and eggs. Eventually he and his friends realized that it could be used as a tool for cooking. He secured his discovery and patented in 1940. And sales of products sold rose to date.
1. George De Mestral : Velcro
Mestral was an engineer Swiss nationality. On a sunny morning, he walked through the countryside. On his way he had trouble when I had to remove the crumbling thistle flower on her dress. He also thought that it might be a useful finding. 're using a microscope, he studied the thistle rontokan and discover what makes the plant sticky. With its blatar behind scientist, he was making a product he called Velcro. In late 1950, he began selling the product. In 1970, these products are selling well in the world market today.
