Disclosed herein is a bonding method for bonding two adherends using an adhesive main agent that contains a thermoplastic resin having a cross-linkable group and a catalyst. The bonding method includes the steps of forming a main agent layer on one of the adherends; applying a catalyst onto the main agent layer; laminating the main agent layer and another adherend; and heating and pressing a laminated body in a layer thickness direction. Another embodiment of the bonding method may include a step of applying a catalyst onto one of the adherends, a step of forming a main agent layer on a surface onto which the catalyst has been applied, a step of laminating the two adherends, and a step of heating and pressing a laminated body in a layer thickness direction.

A method of temporary bonding of an object having first and second opposite surfaces successively including bonding the object to a handle on the side of the first surface, bonding the object to a first adhesive film on the side of the second surface, bonding the first adhesive film to a second adhesive film on the side opposite to the object, and removing the handle from the object.

A molecular adhesive system for reversibly joining two surfaces, comprising: an anionic coating on a first of two surfaces to be joined; a conductive polymer nanotube array on a second of the two surfaces to be joined; wherein said conductive polymer nanotube array is functionalized with metal nanoparticles; and an electric potential applied across said two surfaces.

Provided are a two-component curable adhesive which can be aged at room temperature and has favorable adhesiveness to various base materials, a laminate in which the adhesiveness between a base material and an adhesive is excellent even when aged at room temperature, and a packaging material including the laminate. The two-component curable adhesive includes a polyisocyanate composition (X) including a polyisocyanate compound (A) and a polyol composition (Y) including a polyol (B), in which a viscosity of the polyol composition at 50° C. is 20 mPa.Math.s or more and 180 mPa.Math.s or less.

Waterproof urethane-based adhesive compositions for flooring applications. Silane is reacted with a prepolymer to at least partially end-cap the prepolymer. A reinforcing extender, a thixotropic agent, a magnetic agent, a first catalyst, and methylethylketoximino (MEKO) silane are also added to the composition to form the deactivated adhesive mixture. Prior to coating a substrate with the adhesive, a second catalyst is added to the adhesive mixture. The second catalyst speeds up the curing time and improves the shelf life of the moisture cure adhesive. The adhesive is cured to a final product that is waterproof, hydrolytically stable, and pH resistant.
