Polar silane linkers are provided that attach to resins to form silane-functionalized resins. The functionalized resins can be bound to hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica particles to improve the dispersibility of the silica particles in rubber mixtures. Further disclosed are synthetic routes to provide the silane-functionalized resins, as well as various uses and end products that benefit from the unexpected properties of the silane-functionalized resins. Silane-functionalized resins impart remarkable properties on various rubber compositions, such as tires, belts, hoses, brakes, and the like. Automobile tires incorporating the silane-functionalized resins are shown to possess excellent results in balancing the properties of rolling resistance, tire wear, and wet braking performance.

Provided is a PSA composition capable of achieving excellent moisture resistance.

The PSA composition provided by the present invention comprises a polymer A and a polymer B different from the polymer A. In each of the polymer A and the polymer B, isobutylene is polymerized at a ratio of 50% by weight or higher.

Disclosed is a semiconductor device manufacturing method, including a preparation step of preparing a laminated body in which a supporting member, a temporary fixation material layer that generates heat upon absorbing light, and a semiconductor member are laminated in this order, and a separation step of irradiating the temporary fixation material layer in the laminated body with incoherent light and thereby separating the semiconductor member from the supporting member.

A double-sided adhesive tape is provided, which includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on a first side of the adhesive tape, a thermal bonding film layer on a second side of the adhesive tape, and a carrier layer interposing the thermal bonding film layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
