Provided is an adhesive provided by patterning a metal plate with a predetermined elastic modulus, wherein the adhesive is compressively deformed in response to an operation of an adherend to be folded, so that the adhesive can easily return to an original state thereof through formation of a plurality of inner neutral planes upon deformation.

An impact-resistant film comprises at least one layer of an elastomeric polymer material and an adhesive layer.

A method for increasing the adhesion between the first surface of a first web-type material and a first surface of a second web-type material, the first web-type material and the second web-type material being supplied to a lamination nip continuously and with the same direction of the web. In said nip, the first surface of the first web-type material and of the second web-type material are laminated together and both first surfaces are treated with a plasma over the whole surface. The lamination nip is formed by a pressure roller and a counter-pressure roller and at least one of the surfaces of the rollers or both are equipped with a dielectric. The first web-type material comprises an adhesive compound layer arranged in the first web-type material such as to form the first surface of the first web-type material.
