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.

The present invention relates to a backsheet for photovoltaic modules comprising a polymeric layer comprising an aliphatic polyamide comprising 1,10-decanedioic acid. Examples of such aliphatic polyamides are polyamide 4,10, polyamide 5,10 or polyamide 6,10. Preferably polyamide 4,10 is present in the rear layer of the backsheet. A polyolefin layer is preferably present in the core layer of the backsheet. It is however also possible that the polyamide is present in the core layer and polyolefin is present in the rear layer of the backsheet. The polyolefin is preferably chosen from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene or ethylene-propylene copolymers. More preferably the polyolefin is polypropylene. The backsheet preferably comprises at least a further polymeric layer comprising a polymer selected from the group consisting of an optionally functionalized polyolefin such as a maleic anhydride functionalized polypropylene homo or copolymer.

Adhesive compositions as described herein exhibit enhanced properties as compared to conventional adhesive compositions, and may be suitable for a wide variety of end use applications, including, flexible packaging, woodworking, automotive uses, and electronics.

A hot-melt adhesive composition is disclosed. The hot melt adhesive comprises a) 25 to 95 wt %, preferably 50 to 85 wt % of at least one polyolefin-based polymer; b) 1 to 75 wt %, preferably 1 to 40 wt % of at least one tackifying resin; c) 0 to 15 wt % of at least one plasticizer; and d) 0 to 30 wt % of at least one additive and/or adjuvant selected from among stabilizers, adhesion promoters, fillers or pigments, waxes, and/or other polymers or combinations thereof,
characterized in that the at least one polyolefin-based polymer is a mixture of: a1) at least one first polyolefin-based polymer with a molecular weight M.sub.n of <10,000 g/mol in a quantity of 20 to 80 wt % with respect to the total quantity of polyolefin-based polymer, and a2) at least one second polyolefin-based polymer with a molecular weight M.sub.n of >10,000 g/mol in a quantity of 20 to 80 wt % with respect to the total quantity of polyolefin-based polymer. The adhesive is particularly useful for gluing polyolefin films, woven fabrics, or nonwoven fabrics. Also, methods for manufacturing packaging and fabric with the hot-melt adhesive above are disclosed.
