An object of the present invention is to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, an optical member, and a touch panel that enable a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to be formed, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer allowing the appearance of a display device and an input device to be unlikely to deteriorate even under low pressure conditions. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the number of the voids having a diameter of 300 μM or more in the following low pressure test is less than 10, and the number of the voids having a diameter of not less than 50 less than 300 μM in the following low pressure test is less than 20.

A resin composition includes 100 parts by weight of an unsaturated C═C double bond-containing polyphenylene ether resin and 20 parts by weight to 150 parts by weight of a homopolymer of Formula (1). The resin composition is useful for making different articles, including a prepreg, a resin film, a laminate or a printed circuit board, which may achieve excellent multi-layer board thermal resistance, thermal resistance after moisture absorption and rigidity and achieve high glass transition temperature, low dissipation factor, and low Z-axis ratio of thermal expansion.

A channeled seam tape includes a liquid permeable facer sheet attached to an adhesive portion, where the adhesive portion defines a channeled portion. A removable liner covers the adhesive portion and can be removed to press the tape onto a pair of adjacent substrate surfaces. Once the tape has been pressed onto the substrate surfaces, the adhesive portion covers a gap located between the substrate surfaces and adheres to each substrate surface.

The present invention provides a UV curable resin composition that can be cured without going through a high-temperature heating process and has excellent adhesiveness, and a sheet using the same.

The UV curable resin composition comprises a rubber component with a diene skeleton, a photopolymerization initiator, a crosslinker and a tackifier. The composition contains a solid rubber component and a liquid rubber component at 25° C. as the rubber component with the diene. Since the UV curable composition can be cured by UV irradiation in a short time, it can be applied not only to adherends with high heat resistance but also to various parts.

A self-adhering roofing membrane may include a polymeric membrane. The roofing membrane may include a first adhesive layer disposed on a major surface of the polymeric membrane. The first adhesive layer may include one or both of a hot melt adhesive and a butyl rubber-based adhesive. The roofing membrane may include a UV curable adhesive layer disposed on the first adhesive layer. The UV curable adhesive layer may have a thickness of less than about 4 mils.

An adhesive strain sensing pod includes at least one strain sensor, electronics for electrically sensing at least one strain signal from the at least one strain sensor, and a sensor adhesive for adhering the strain sensor to a surface of a structural element. The pod may have a protective case for protecting the strain sensor and the electronics and for transferring at least part of a force, pressing the pod against the surface, to press the strain sensor against the surface. The sensor adhesive may be a liquid adhesive contained in a fragile pouch that ruptures when the pod is forced against the surface, or may be a thermally activated adhesive film that is activated to bond the strain sensor to the surface. A protective film may protect the sensor adhesive prior to installation of the pod and is removed prior to installation of the pod on the surface.

Provided are a UV curable composition which can be cured without undergoing a high-temperature heating step and has excellent adhesiveness and mechanical strength; and a sheet using the same. This UV curable composition includes a rubber component having a diene skeleton, a photopolymerization initiator, and a cross-linking agent, wherein the rubber component having a diene skeleton contains a solid rubber component and a liquid rubber component at 25° C. The UV curable composition can be cured by UV irradiation in a short time, and can thus be applied to not only an adherend having high heat resistance but also a wide range of members.
