A layered stack is created by placing webs of adhesive on opposite sides of web of cushioning layer and placing outer webs outside the webs of adhesive. An outer surface of a rotating drum is heated by heating oil inside the drum. An endless belt is heated by at least one heater. The layered stack is pulled between the heated endless belt and the heated rotating drum via a motorized drive assembly which rotates the endless belt. Both sides of the layered stack are heated enough to melt each web of adhesive when the layered stack passes between the heated moving endless belt and the heated rotating drum.

An interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) adhesive comprises an acrylated polymer system curable by radiation, and a flexible epoxy system thermally curable after the acrylated polymer system is cured.

A method for forming an ink jet printhead comprises processing an epoxy adhesive such that negative effects from physical contact with particular inks are reduced or eliminated. Conventional adhesives processed using conventional techniques are known to gain weight and squeeze out when exposed to certain inks such as ultraviolet inks, solid inks, and aqueous inks. An embodiment of the present teachings can include processing of a particular adhesive such that the resulting epoxy adhesive is suitable for printhead applications.

A composite component and its method of production are disclosed. The method includes preparing a layer structure with a support layer precursor layers on each sides of a layer of thermoplastic elastomer having gaps therein. The layer structure is heated in order to render the layer of thermoplastic elastomer plastic. The layer of thermoplastic elastomer is compressed between the support layer precursor layers for form the composite component.

The present disclosure provides a composite structure and associated method for preparing a composite substrate comprising an inorganic coating that is adhered to an organic-based substrate via an adhesion promoting agent comprising a molecule having a urea moiety at one end of the molecule and an alkoxysilane moiety at the other end of the molecule. The use of adhesion promoting agent having at least one of an amine or imine moiety and an alkoxysilane moiety promotes tight adhesion of the inorganic coating to the substrate.

Provided are a modified polyvinyl alcohol-based resin with an acrylic group introduced thereto and including a hydroxyl group formed during the introduction of the acrylic group, an adhesive including the modified polyvinyl alcohol-based resin having excellent adhesion, humidity resistance, and water resistance, an adhesive including a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, and a compound having an epoxy group, and an acrylic group, a polarizing plate and an image display device including the adhesive. The adhesive for a polarizing plate according to an embodiment of the present invention has excellent adhesion, humidity resistance, and water resistance as well as having excellent solubility with respect to water and an increase in adhesion while physical properties of a typical polyvinyl alcohol-based resin are maintained.

An engineering or constructional member comprising at least two strips bonded with an adhesive; each of the strips comprises bamboo impregnated or treated with a polymer derived from one or more furfuryl alcohol resin precursors.

A biodegradable biomass article for use in construction includes a cellulose biomass. The cellulose biomass includes an alkaline crystalline substance. An adhesive layer covers an outer surface of the biomass, and a sealing layer covers the adhesive layer. A method for manufacturing the biodegradable biomass article includes drying a cellulose biomass, and mixing the biomass with water into a slurry. The slurry is heated, and strained after the step of heating, resulting in a residual paste. The residual paste is compressed to form a biomass mat. The biomass mat is heated, and an adhesive layer is applied which covers the biomass mat. A sealing layer is applied over the adhesive layer.
