An adhesive composition is disclosed. The adhesive composition comprises an epoxy-containing component; rubber particles having a core-shell structure; and a curing component comprising a mixture of an amine-containing compound substantially free of hydroxyl functional groups and a polymeric phenol-containing compound, wherein the amine-containing compound comprises primary and/or secondary amino groups, and wherein the curing component chemically reacts with the epoxy-containing component upon activation from an external energy source. Also disclosed are methods of preparing the adhesive composition and for forming a bonded substrate with the adhesive composition. Further disclosed are curing components for an adhesive composition and methods of making the curing components.

A pneumatic tire includes: an inner liner having a thermoplastic resin film, a carcass, and an adhesive layer disposed between the inner liner and the carcass, in which the dynamic storage modulus E's at −20° C. of the thermoplastic resin film, the adhesive layer, and the carcass are defined as E.sub.1′, E.sub.2′, and E.sub.3′, respectively, and the relationship among E.sub.1′, E.sub.2′, and E.sub.3′ satisfies E.sub.1′>E.sub.2′>E.sub.3′. This pneumatic tire has excellent anti-crack property in a low-temperature environment of the inner liner.

The present disclosure provides an electrochemical energy storage device, which comprises a cell, an electrolyte and a package. The electrochemical energy storage device further comprises a binding material positioned between the cell and the package. The binding material comprises an adhesive layer and a covering layer. The adhesive layer is directly or indirectly adhered and positioned on an outer surface of the cell, and a surface of the adhesive layer which is far away from the cell is an adhesive surface; the covering layer is positioned on the adhesive surface of the adhesive layer, the covering layer is dissolved or swollen into the electrolyte in whole or in part so as to expose the adhesive surface of the adhesive layer, therefore the adhesive layer can make the cell adhered with the package. The covering layer is a polar molecule, the polar molecule comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of —F, —CO—NH—, —NH—CO—NH—, and —NH—CO—O—. The electrochemical energy storage device of the present disclosure may not only fixedly connect the cell to the package so as to resolve the problems during the drop test, but also may resolve the problem that the cell is difficult to put into the package because the two surfaces of the binding material are both adhesive, the electrochemical energy storage device also has an excellent cycle performance and an excellent charge-discharge performance under a high rate.
