Compositions and methods are described for a temporary coating and adhesive with adjustable acidity for use in coating work units as a planarization coating over high topography and also for affixing thin units onto a carrier whereby such compositions provide sufficient properties to support a manufacturing process, and upon completion, the compositions are removed by an aqueous detergent that dissolves and releases the work unit within a rapid time frame without harm to its integrity. The temporary adhesive provides a tunable acidity based upon Lewis acid represented as its acid dissociative constant, K.sub.a, where it is preferred to have K.sub.a≧1×10.sup.−6 (pK.sub.a≦6), more preferred K.sub.a≧1×10.sup.−5 (pK.sub.a≦5), and most preferred K.sub.a≧1×10.sup.−4 (pK.sub.a≦4). The temporary coating and adhesive may be applied and cured in a variety of ways that meet the needs of the work unit and objectives of the manufacturing process. The invention provides benefits of flexibility and reduced cost when establishing practices to handle difficult work units in the manufacture of semiconductors and flat panel displays.

The present invention relates to a radical-curable adhesive composition including a (A) radical-polymerizable compound having at least one hydrophilic functional group in the molecule; a (B) phosphate-based compound having three (meth)acrylic groups in the molecule; and a (C) radical initiator, and a polarizing plate and an optical member including the radical-curable adhesive composition.

To provide a method for producing an electrode/separator laminate which, when producing the electrode/separator laminate by subjecting the electrode and separator with adhesive layer to thermocompression bonding, the separator and the electrode can be bonded with adequate adhesion, without detriment to ion conductivity. [Solution] This method for producing an electrode/separator laminate includes a step in which a separator with adhesive layer comprising a porous polyolefin film having an adhesive layer at least on one side, and an electrode which has an electrode active substance layer containing an electrode active substance and an electrode binder, are laminated in such a manner that the adhesive layer and the electrode active substance layer touch one another, and are subsequently subjected to thermocompression.

An adhesive article that remains securely bonded to a substrate until a stimuli is applied. The article may be embodied as an adhesive tape, a bandage, or as other articles. The stimuli may be a change in temperature or application of a reduction that causes a structure within the article to break, creak, or otherwise disrupt to expose the adhesive to a solvent, such as via a difference in Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) or by exposing the article to a glass transition temperature.

Provided is a substrate-free transfer tape including: a release liner including a heavy peel surface and a light peel surface; and a transfer film layer provided on the heavy peel surface, in which release peel force between the heavy peel surface and the transfer film layer is from 10 g/in to 70 g/in or less at the time of peeling the transfer film layer at a rate of 3 m/min.
