A method of bonding together surfaces of two or more elements. The method includes the steps of providing two or more elements, applying an adhesive to one or more of the surfaces to be bonded together before, during or after contacting the surfaces to be bonded together with each other, and curing the adhesive, wherein the adhesive comprises at least one hydrocolloid.

The present invention relates to packaging materials in the form of laminates comprising a paper or paperboard substrate and a barrier film. The barrier film is based on microfibrillated cellulose. The laminate comprises a paper or paperboard substrate, wherein the substrate is in contact with a first adhesive layer, which is in contact with a second adhesive layer, which is in contact with the barrier film. The present invention also relates to methods for manufacturing such laminates.

A method for temporarily protecting a surface uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive film and reduces unwinding force when the film is unwound. The pressure-sensitive adhesive film that comprises a backing coated on one side with a rubber adhesive containing at least 5 wt % of tackifying resin, and on the other side with a silicone epoxy varnish.

A bottom protection film for an OLED panel is provided. More particularly, a bottom protection film for an OLED panel, the bottom protection film having excellent bending performance due to elasticity and impact resistance, excellent alignment process workability, and excellent adhesion to an OLED panel, and being capable of preventing generation of static electricity through performing an antistatic treatment is provided.

The present invention relates to a method of providing thermal and/or acoustic insulation to a structure, comprising the steps of: providing a substrate which comprises fibres; applying the substrate to the structure; blending the substrate with a binder composition before, during or after application of the substrate to the structure; allowing curing of the binder composition after the substrate and the binder composition have been applied to the structure; wherein the binder composition comprises at least one hydrocolloid. The present invention also relates to an insulated structure obtainable by said method.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for an adhesive including an activated portion and an unactivated portion. The adhesive is interposed between and binds the first substrate to a second substrate. The unactivated portion includes moisture, and the activated portion is activated to adhere in response to the removal of moisture. Similarly, the unactivated portion of the adhesive may be activated in response to the removal of moisture, removal of air, applying radiation, heating, and/or catalyzing a functional group.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising: a) one or more organometallic compounds; b) one or more high boiling point solvents; and c) one or more low boiling point solvents. The invention further relates to a system comprising a) one or more organometallic compounds; b) one or more high boiling point solvents; and c) one or more low boiling point solvents and an isocyanate functional adhesive. The isocyanate functional adhesive may be a one part or a two part adhesive. The invention further relates to methods of bonding substrates together using the compositions of the invention.

A method for producing a printed material includes forming a color image having an image area ratio of 20% or less on a peripheral edge portion of a recording medium by using a coloring material; providing pressure-induced phase transition particles to a region of the recording medium, the region including the peripheral edge portion; bonding the color image and the pressure-induced phase transition particles onto the recording medium; and folding the recording medium having the color image and the pressure-induced phase transition particles bonded thereon and pressure-bonding the folded recording medium, or pressure-bonding the recording medium having the color image and the pressure-induced phase transition particles bonded thereon and another recording medium placed on top of each other. The pressure-induced phase transition particles contain a styrene resin and a (meth)acrylic acid ester resin, the styrene resin contains styrene and a vinyl monomer other than styrene as polymerization components, the (meth)acrylic acid ester resin contains at least two (meth)acrylic acid esters as polymerization components, and a mass ratio of the (meth)acrylic acid esters is 90 mass % or more of a total of all polymerization components of the (meth)acrylic acid ester resin. The pressure-induced phase transition particles have at least two glass transition temperatures, and a difference between the lowest glass transition temperature and the highest glass transition temperature among the glass transition temperatures of the pressure-induced phase transition particles is 30? C. or more.

The present disclosure describes thermally insulating glass laminates that mitigate or prevent heat loss from heated cavities. In some embodiments, the thermally insulating glass laminates comprise a non-uniform low or non-conductive coating layer that forms a chemical bond with at least one inner surface of the substrates, wherein the coating layer can have a thickness of about 0.010 inches or less and forms a pattern that contacts about 30% or less of at least one inner surface of a substrate and helps form a plurality of sealed cavities of gas molecules between the substrates. Since there is a small amount of gas molecules in each cavity, convective heat transfer between the substrates is minimized thereby minimizing heat loss through the laminates into the surrounding environment.

In order to be able to set the bending stiffness of a composite material having at least two plies connected by a laminating agent, it is provided that a mixture of a first, curing adhesive and a second, non-curing adhesive is used as laminating agent, wherein the bending stiffness of the composite material is set by the mixing ratio of the two adhesives.
