A polymerizable composition includes at least one monomer, a photoinitiator capable of initiating polymerization of the monomer when exposed to light, and a phosphor capable of producing light when exposed to radiation (typically X-rays). The material is particularly suitable for bonding components at ambient temperature in situations where the bond joint is not accessible to an external light source. An associated method includes: placing a polymerizable adhesive composition, including a photoinitiator and energy converting material, such as a down-converting phosphor, in contact with at least two components to be bonded to form an assembly; and, irradiating the assembly with radiation at a first wavelength, capable of conversion (down-conversion by the phosphor) to a second wavelength capable of activating the photoinitiator, to prepare items such as inkjet cartridges, wafer-to-wafer assemblies, semiconductors, integrated circuits, and the like.

An adhesive film has an average slope of about −9.9 to about 0, as measured over a temperature range of about −20° C. to about 80° C. in a graph depicting a temperature-dependent storage modulus distribution of the adhesive film where the x-axis represents temperature (° C.) and the y-axis represents storage modulus (kPa). The adhesive film also has a storage modulus at about 80° C. of about 10 kPa to about 1,000 kPa.
