Provided is an adhesive as follows. The adhesive can bond/secure an adherend to a support with maintaining high adhesiveness during the existence of the need for securing of the adherend to the support, even in a high-temperature environment or in an environment with abrupt temperature change. The adhesive enables debonding of the adherend from the support without breakage of the adherend when the securing becomes unnecessary. The adhesive can be easily removed when remained on the adherend after debonding. The adhesive according to the present invention contains (A) a multivalent vinyl ether compound, (B) a compound including two or more of a constitutional unit represented by Formula (b), and (C) a thermoplastic resin. In the formula, X is selected from hydroxy and carboxy.

Provided is an adhesive for use in an ultraviolet-light-emitting device using ultraviolet light having a wavelength of from 200 to 400 nm as a light source, which can attach adherends made of a polymer having a fluorine-containing alicyclic structure with excellent adhesiveness which is unlikely to be impaired by exposure to such ultraviolet light or heat. An adhesive for forming an adhesive joint in an ultraviolet-light-emitting device, which is either the following adhesive (A) or the following adhesive (B) comprising a fluoropolymer having a fluorine-containing alicyclic structure: the adhesive (A): an adhesive in which the glass transition temperature of the fluoropolymer is from 30 to 100 C., and which does not contain an ultraviolet-shielding agent; and the adhesive (B): an adhesive comprising the fluoropolymer and an ultraviolet-shielding agent.
