Described is a fabric or flexible composite material for an inflatable safety product. The fabric or flexible composite material includes a substrate and a hot melt adhesive on the substrate. The substrate and hot melt adhesive may include a same base polymer. A method of forming an inflatable safety product includes forming a fabric or flexible composite material by applying a hot melt adhesive to a substrate using heat and pressure.

A hybrid bonded-fastened (HBF) joint 100 is described. The hybrid bonded-fastened (HBF) joint comprises: a first component 110 having a first joint surface 111, wherein the first component 110 is a composite component; a second component 120 having a second joint surface 121, wherein the second component 121 is a metallic component; a set of projections 130, including a first projection 130A, mutually interlocking the first component 110 and the second component 120 via the first joint surface 111 and the second joint surface 121; and an adhesive 140 mutually adhesively bonding the first component 110 and the second component 120 via the first joint surface 111 and the second joint surface 121; wherein the adhesive 140 comprises and/or is a disbondable adhesive.

It is an object of the present disclosure to provide an interior member for an aircraft, a manufacturing method of the member and a replacement method of the member in which replacement cost can be reduced. An interior member for an aircraft according to the present disclosure includes a substrate, a decorative layer that covers the surface of the substrate, and an adhesive layer that adheres to the decorative layer to the substrate, and the decorative layer is peelably pasted to the surface of the substrate via the adhesive layer in a range that meets a required adhesive strength and that does not affect the substrate.

A method for pre-forming adhesive films before applying such films to curved and/or irregular shapes inside an aircraft. Adhesive film blanks with antimicrobial properties are pre-formed using a contoured manufacturing mold. The adhesive film blank has been created to match the shape of the airline interior component to which such adhesive film will be applied. The adhesive film blank is pre-formed by placing it in the contoured manufacturing mold, applying heat for a specified time and at a specified pressure. After being pre-formed in the manufacturing mold, the pre-formed adhesive film is applied to a specific interior component. Commercial aircraft interior components may include, but are not limited to, items such as overhead stowage bins, sidewall panels, ceiling panels, monuments, lavatories, closets, handles, tray tables, galley surfaces, and any other appropriate high touch interior surfaces that benefit from application of a pre-formed adhesive film.

Provided herein are multilayer structures comprising superhydrophobic coatings, methods of making, and methods of using. Also set forth herein are improved adhesives with include PTFE or other fluoropolymers as a superhydrophobic surface. Also set forth herein are improved adhesives with can be applied as a paint to a surface. These superhydrophobic surfaces are useful for a variety of applications, including, but not limited to, drag reduction, as an anti-fouling surface in marine engineering, and as sealants and gaskets in static applications.

An airfoil is provided that includes an exterior substrate surface, and a coating layer adjacent to the exterior substrate surface. The coating layer has an icephobic coating composition that includes a first polymer, a second polymer that is a fluoropolymer, an isocyanate, and a curative. The coating layer is bonded to the airfoil via an intermediate adhesive layer. The coating layer has a bottom surface, and at least one of the exterior substrate surface and the bottom surface has an RMS surface roughness of at least about 1 micron or greater before the coating layer is bonded to the exterior substrate surface.

The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition including a compound having a substituent represented by the general formula (1) described in the specification, in which when each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 in the substituent represented by the general formula (1) represents a hydrogen atom, a distance between an oxygen atom of OR.sup.1 and an oxygen atom of OR.sup.2 is 1.31 or more and 4.70 or less, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprising the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

A multilayer protective sheet material with an adhesive backing is both durable and easy to install and conforms FAA standards. This sheet material may also include on optional layer of colored pigment.

A semi-finished product including at least one vitrimer, a method of joining using the semi-finished product with a sub-component, a component produced by the method, and a method of debonding such component.

Adhesive formulations comprising bovine serum albumin, b-lactoglobulin, and/or a-lactalbumin can be applied and cured underwater to form a strong adhesive. Curing can be accomplished using heat or via a chemical denaturing component.
