The methods include providing an aqueous polyurethane dispersion, applying the polyurethane dispersion to a surface of the first substrate, bringing the side of the first substrate into contract with a surface of the second substrate, and curing the aqueous dispersion, thereby laminating the first substrate to the second substrate. Laminates formed by the methods and including the compositions are also disclosed.

Methods of making bearings using pressure sensitive macromolecular adhesive polymers and pressure sensitive polymer compositions capable of integrating fluoropolymeric properties with a catechol-amine functionality to form an adhesive system that allows bonding between metallic substrates and fluoropolymers are disclosed. Also disclosed are core-shell polymeric particles comprised of a core and a shell comprising a thermoplastic polydopamine polymer that may be prepared as a colloidal suspension and used as a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive capable of binding low surface energy materials, such as polyolefins and fluoropolymers, to diverse materials including metals in making bearings and/or bearing components.

Adhesive tapes include a plasticized polyvinyl chloride backing, a primer including an ethylene/carbon monoxide-containing terpolymer and a styrene-containing block copolymer and an epoxidized polymer, and an adhesive.

A multilayer film having a backing with an integrally formed polymeric liner, made in a common coextrusion process. The polymeric liner has material properties deemed to make it incompatible with the backing material, resulting in two layers that resist separation during manufacture and transportation but are hand separable in field applications and installation.

An adhesive tape comprising a porous substrate having a basis weight of 60-150 g/m.sup.2, a thickness of 200 μm or more, and a void ratio of 35 vol % or more, a resin layer provided to at least one surface of the porous substrate, and an adhesive layer provided on the resin layer, wherein the resin layer is formed from a resin composition (I) including a tackifier resin.

A UV-cured exothermic self-adhesive repair sheet having two components that may be combined in equal sizes. The first component comprises Polyester Resin (25-40%), Glass Fiber (15-25%), Styrene Monomer (<20%) and Inorganic Filler (25-40%). The second component comprises Acrylic Adhesive (75-95%) and Non-Woven Fabric (5-25%).

Methods of making bearings using pressure sensitive macromolecular adhesive polymers and pressure sensitive polymer compositions capable of integrating fluoropolymeric properties with a catecholamine functionality to form an adhesive system that allows bonding between metallic substrates and fluoropolymers are disclosed. Also disclosed are core-shell polymeric particles comprised of a core and a shell comprising a thermoplastic polydopamine polymer that may be prepared as a colloidal suspension and used as a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive capable of binding low surface energy materials, such as polyolefins and fluoropolymers, to diverse materials including metals in making bearings and/or bearing components.

An adhesive-backed floor, wall, or window graphic adapted for installation on a floor, wall, or window, is provided that includes a printed flexible substrate, an adhesive located on a back of the printed flexible substrate, and a back liner system. The back liner system, at least for the adhesive-backed wall and window graphic, includes removable liner dots at least in two upper corners of the adhesive-backed window graphic and in a medial location of the adhesive-backed window graphic, a center removable liner strip that is oriented vertically in an installation orientation of the adhesive-backed window graphic, and a plurality of side removable liner strips located on both sides of the center removable liner strip. An installation method using the adhesive-backed floor, wall, or window graphic is also provided that provides for easier installation with professional results.

A stitched fabric including a foam core and a yarn stitched through and forming stitch holes in the foam core, where the yarn extends over at least a majority of a width and a length of the stitched fabric. In some cases, the yarn and the foam core are free from contact by another layer on either side of the foam core. In some cases, a barrier layer is disposed over at least one side of the foam core and a melted portion of the barrier layer fills a portion of the stitch holes. In some cases, the foam core is a closed cell aerogel foam core.

Provided is a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, which is excellent in initial pressure-sensitive adhesive property to an adherend, is sufficiently elongated, hardly breaks even when sufficiently elongated, can be smoothly pulled and removed from the adherend under an elongated state, and is excellent in reworking properties. The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape in an embodiment of the present invention includes, in this order: a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (B1); a base material layer (A); and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (B2), wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (B1) and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (B2) each contain at least one kind selected from the group consisting of: an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive; and a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive contains a filler, wherein the base material layer (A) contains, as a resin component, at least one kind selected from the group consisting of: polyolefin; thermoplastic polyurethane; and a styrene-based polymer.
