The embodiments described herein generally relate to methods and chemical compositions for coating substrates with a composition. In one embodiment, an adhesive composition is provided comprising a reaction product of a polyacid selected from the group consisting of an aromatic polyacid, an aliphatic polyacid, an aliphatic polyacid with an aromatic group, and combinations thereof, or a diglycidyl ether; and a polyamine; and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of a branched aliphatic acid, a cyclic aliphatic acid with a cyclic aliphatic group, a linear aliphatic, and combinations thereof. The adhesive composition may be used to cover a substrate.

Disclosed is an adhesive hydrogel containing a polymer matrix, water, and a polyhydric alcohol, wherein the polymer matrix contains a copolymer of a monofunctional monomer with a single polymerizable C—C double bond and a polyfunctional monomer with two or more polymerizable C—C double bonds, the monofunctional monomer contains a nonionic (meth)acrylamide-based monomer, and the polyfunctional monomer has a composition formula: C.sub.lH.sub.mO.sub.n, where O is an oxygen atom in an ether bond, l is an integer greater than or equal to 4, m is an integer greater than or equal to 6, and n is an integer greater than or equal to 0.
