In a method for producing a compound of at least two polymer substrates, two polymer substrates each having a connecting surface are provided. At least one of the polymer substrates is coated with a self-assembling polypeptide, at least in the area of the connecting surface. The two polymer substrates are connected by pressing together the connecting surfaces under pressure and at a temperature corresponding to at least the glass transition temperature of the material of one of the polymer substrates at the connecting surface, wherein a diffusion of polymer chains takes place between the connecting surfaces by the self-assembling polypeptide and a solid connection is formed between the two connecting surfaces. A sealed microfluidic cartridge includes a polymer cartridge and a sealing film connected by such a method.

Provided is a flame retardant and heat insulating sheet having high flame retardancy and a high heat insulating property. Also provided is a flame retardant heat insulator including such flame retardant and heat insulating sheet. A flame retardant and heat insulating sheet according to one embodiment includes: a flame retardant and heat insulating layer formed from a resin composition (A); and a heat insulating layer, wherein the resin composition (A) contains: a binder resin; a low-melting point inorganic substance; a high-melting point inorganic substance; and voids. A flame retardant and heat insulating sheet according to one embodiment includes: a flame retardant and heat insulating layer formed from a resin composition (B); and a heat insulating layer, wherein the resin composition (B) contains: a binder resin that produces a high-melting point inorganic substance when heated; a low-melting point inorganic substance; and voids and/or a void-forming agent.

In devices with flexible displays, multilayer adhesive stacks may be included. A multilayer adhesive may attach a flexible display panel to the display cover layer in an electronic device. Including multiple layers of adhesive in the adhesive stack (as opposed to a single layer) provides more degrees of freedom for the tuning and optimization of the properties of the adhesive stack. The multilayer adhesive stack therefore has better performance than if only a single layer of adhesive is used. The multilayer adhesive stack may include one or more layers of soft adhesive, hard adhesive, hard elastomer, hard polymer, and/or glass to optimize the mechanical and optical performance of the multilayer adhesive stack. Soft adhesive layers may be included to optimize lateral decoupling (e.g., during folding and unfolding) of the adhesive stack. Harder layers may be included to provide rigidity and prevent denting during impact events.
