A method for sealing a container having an opening by contacting the opening with a mixture including a phenethylamine and a first polymer, adding a fluid to be contained to the container, and then adding a second mixture, comprising a second polymer, whereupon an interaction between the first and second polymer mixtures result in a seal being formed over the opening, thereby containing the fluid. The first polymer is typically a water-swellable polymer and the second polymer is typically a hydrophilic polymer that will form an interpenetrating network with the swellable polymer.

A conductive polymer-metal complex becomes to be adhered simply and strongly on the surface of a substrate such as PTFE. By subjecting a solution containing a monomer which provides a conductive polymer, an anion, and a metal ions such as Ag.sup.+, Cu.sup.2+, Cu.sup.+ and the like to an irradiation with light having an energy required for exciting an electron to an energy level capable of reducing the metal ion, such as ultraviolet light, under an appropriated condition, thereby precipitating the conductive polymer-metal complex as being dispersed in the reaction liquid. By supplying this dispersion liquid onto various substrates, the complex microparticles in the dispersion liquid enter into and mate with the narrow holes on the surface of the substrate. As a result, the complex precipitate formed on the surface of the substrate and the substrate can be adhered strongly to each other.

An object to be achieved by the present invention is to provide an industrially useful adhesive sheet that can be used to bond various adherends and has excellent peel adhesion, excellent push strength, and excellent holding power under static load. The object of the present invention can be achieved by an adhesive sheet having, on one side or both side of a substrate, an adhesive layer (A) having a tensile strength of 6 N/cm.sup.2 or more as determined from a stress-strain curve (a so-called S-S curve) at a strain of 100%.

Provided herein is a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive comprising one or more styrene block copolymers, a tackifier, and polyisobutylene plasticizer, wherein the adhesive contains less than 1 wt % of a plasticizer oil. The adhesive can be used in a label construction along with a facestock such as a polyethylene facestock, wherein the swelling factor of the facestock is reduced as compared to the swelling factor of the facestock in labels that include a plasticizer oil. Also provided are methods for producing and using the hot melt adhesive, and articles labeled with the hot melt adhesive.
