A moisture barrier material including a carrier, an adhesive layer formed on at least one surface of the carrier, and a release treated liner, wherein the moisture barrier material has a nonplanar shape, and a method for manufacturing the same.

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.

Pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions and articles that include a layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions are provided. The pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions are particularly well suited for use with substrates that have been considered to have difficult to bond to surfaces such as those routinely encountered in the automotive industry. For example, the pressure-sensitive adhesive can be adhered to clear coat compositions, painted surfaces, and various polymeric materials having low energy surfaces (e.g., surfaces having a surface energy no greater than 35 dynes per centimeter).

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.

A sealing device includes a waterproofing membrane, an adhesive sealant layer, and optionally a release liner, wherein the adhesive sealant layer includes at least one elastomer, at least one at 25? C. liquid polyolefin resin, and at least one inert mineral filler. An adhesive sealant composition is used to form the adhesive sealant layer. The sealant device may be used to waterproof a substrate and provide a fully-adhered roof system. The adhesive sealant composition may be used to provide a self-healing roofing membrane.

Provided are an adhesive composition and a film roll whereby blocking can be prevented and excellent temporary pressure bonding properties can be obtained. The adhesive composition of the present invention contains an epoxy resin, a latent curing agent, and an acrylic rubber having a carboxyl group or a glycidyl group, and the acrylic rubber phase-separates from the epoxy resin at a normal temperature and is compatible with the epoxy resin at a predetermined temperature higher than the normal temperature and lower than the curing temperature. Adhesive force is thereby reduced at the normal temperature, blocking can be prevented from occurring and excellent adhesive force can be obtained during temporary pressure bonding.

Provided are a self-adsorbable foamed laminate sheet having excellent weather resistance and causing no paste residue, and a composition for a self-adsorbable foamed sheet used to obtain the self-adsorbable foamed laminate sheet. A composition for a self-adsorbable foamed sheet comprises: a copolymer containing an unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer unit and having a solubility parameter (SP value) of 9.7 (cal/cm.sup.3).sup.1/2 or less and a glass-transition temperature of 10 C. or less; and a crosslinking agent.

A tape includes: a flexible backing layer having two major surfaces, wherein the backing layer has a thickness of greater than 64 micrometers and up to 200 micrometers, and one major surface of the backing layer includes a primed surface; and a rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed on the primed surface of the backing layer, wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive layer has a thickness of at least 7.6 micrometers (and preferably up to 25 micrometers); wherein, when disposed on an aluminum substrate, the tape displays a peel adhesion of less than 20 oz/in (219 N/m) according to a Peel Adhesion Strength Test described in the Examples Section, and a leakage distance of less than 762 micrometers according to a Chromic Acid AnodizationLeakage Distance Test described in the Examples Section. A method of anodizing an aluminum surface includes: providing a substrate having an aluminum surface; applying a tape as described herein to mask the aluminum surface and form a masked substrate; and exposing the masked substrate to an electrolyte solution including chromic acid under conditions effective to form aluminum oxide.

The present invention provides an adhesive resin composition that is used for adhesion of a fluorine-based resin and is aimed at adhesion between fluorine-based resins or between a fluorine-based resin and a material other than a fluorine-based resin. More specifically, the present invention relates to an adhesive resin composition for use in adhesion of a fluorine-based resin, the composition including a polyethylene-based resin, an elastomer component, and a component having an epoxy group and a vinyl group, wherein a content of the polyethylene-based resin is 55 parts by mass or more and 90 parts by mass or less, a content of the elastomer component is 10 parts by mass or more and 45 parts by mass or less, the elastomer component and the component having an epoxy group and a vinyl group have a common repetition unit, and a content of the component having an epoxy group and a vinyl group based on a total amount of 100 parts by mass of the polyethylene-based resin and the elastomer component is 0.1 parts by mass or more and 1.5 parts by mass or less.

Pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions and articles that include a layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions are provided. The pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions are particularly well suited for use with substrates that have been considered to have difficult to bond to surfaces such as those routinely encountered in the automotive industry. For example, the pressure-sensitive adhesive can be adhered to clear coat compositions, painted surfaces, and various polymeric materials having low energy surfaces (e.g., surfaces having a surface energy no greater than 35 dynes per centimeter).
