The invention relates to a method of producing a fibrillary dry adhesive material having a plurality of fibrils. Furthermore, the invention relates to a fibrillar dry adhesive material in particular having liquid super-repellency.

An adhesive-backed film with an adhesive layer having thermoplastic or thermoset filaments partially projecting therefrom, to promote fluid egress and repositionability.

A variety of adhesive laminates are described, many of which perform functions such as liquid indication, outgassing, liquid retention, electrical conducting, and sound channeling. Also described are adhesive regions on face materials in which the regions exhibit particular dimensional proportions. Methods involving direct and transfer coating of adhesives are also described. In a particular version, a method of roll to roll transfer coating of sprayed pressure sensitive adhesives is described. Also described are various adhesive films and laminates many of which can be produced using the methods.

The present invention relates to a release liner-attached adhesive body including a linear adhesive body and a release liner, in which the release liner has a compression elastic modulus of 1.5 MPa or less, and a release liner-attached adhesive body including a linear adhesive body and a release liner, in which a slit is formed in the release liner, and at least a part of the adhesive body is disposed in the slit.

A core-sheath filament is provided that includes a curable composition. The curable composition contains an epoxy resin and a photoacid generator. Methods of making the core-sheath filament and methods of using the core-sheath filament for printing and bonding are provided. The core-sheath filaments can be used to form a cured composition having structural bonding performance.

The present invention relates to a method for applying a threadlike adhesive body to an adherend so that the applied threadlike adhesive body has a desired shape, the method including a step in which a temporary-support-supported threadlike adhesive body including a temporary support and the threadlike adhesive body applied thereto so as to have a shape reverse to the desired shape is applied by press-bonding a surface thereof where the threadlike adhesive body lies to the adherend.

A composite hot-melt adhesive mesh film and preparation process thereof, in particular, a composite hot-melt adhesive mesh film and preparation process thereof for bonding metal and non-polar material are disclosed. The mesh film is compounded of a polar polyamide hot-melt adhesive and a non-polar polyolefin hot-melt adhesive mesh film containing a compatibilizer. The mesh film has a high adhesive strength and a durable and stable adhesion, and is especially suitable for bonding stainless steel, aluminum, copper or other metal materials and polyethylene, polypropylene or other non-polar polymers. Additionally, the preparation process is completed in one set of production process from raw material pretreatment to the final preparation of the hot melt adhesive mesh film product, thereby greatly reducing production failures, and providing high production efficiency and low costs.

The present invention is directed to synthetic attachment discs made from adhesive nanofibers and/or microfibers that are capable of attaching long fibers to a wide variety of surfaces, and related methods for forming and using them. The synthetic attachment discs of the present invention use very little material relative to prior art systems, while producing a very strong attachment force. Experimental and theoretical evidence are provided to confirm the advantages of thousands of micron-size ‘staple-pins’ and their low peeling angles to enhance the adhesive forces required to peel the synthetic attachment discs. The present invention provides a unique strategy for designing new adhesives that use very little material for various biomedical and material science applications.

The present invention relates to a method of producing a bonded body in which members are allowed to bond to each other with a yarn-like adhesive body, and at least a part of a bonding region, which is a portion where members are allowed to bond to each other, has a bent shape, and the members are allowed to bond to each other with the yarn-like adhesive body bent according to a shape of the bonding region.

The present invention relates to an adhesive article including a core material and an adhesive layer covering a longitudinal surface of the core material, in which the core material is a multifilament yarn including four or more filaments.
