A method for producing a component includes a) providing at least two preforms each made of a carbon composite material, b) joining the at least two preforms at least at one respective connecting surface to form a composite, in which a joining compound is introduced between the joining surfaces of the preforms and then cured and the joining compound contains silicon carbide and at least one polymer adhesive, and c) siliconizing the composite to form the component. A component, such as an optical component produced thereby, is also provided.

A method for bonding together two substrates includes providing a molecular glue including glue molecules, each of the glue molecules having at least two OSi or OAl moieties; reacting a surface of a first substrate with the molecular glue to attach the glue molecules to the surface of the first substrate by at least one of the OSi or OAl moieties; and reacting a surface of a second substrate with the molecular glue to attach the glue molecules to the surface of the second substrate by at least another one of the OSi or OAl moieties. The method can be used for a variety of applications including manufacturing a vapor cell.

A pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) composition and method of use across a wide operable temperature window. The PSA composition includes a triblock copolymer rubber with relatively low diblock content, an aliphatic tackifier, an aromatic tackifier, and an oil-based plasticizer. The combination of components results in the PSA having a phase-separated morphology, where the PSA includes two domains that do not mix with each other. This morphology results in superior performance of the PSA across a wide range of temperatures, such that separate adhesives for low temperatures and high temperatures are no longer required.

A protein adhesive of a novel sequence is disclosed. The protein adhesive according to the present disclosures enables adhesion between two non-biological materials or between a non-biological material and a biological material, thereby being applicable to various fields.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing and a sensor module disposed in at least a portion of the housing. The sensor module includes a fingerprint recognition sensor, a protective layer covering the fingerprint recognition sensor, an adhesive member placed on the protective layer, and a ceramic layer placed on the adhesive member, wherein the edge of the ceramic layer, the edge of the adhesive member, and the edge of a part of the protective layer include machined surfaces. Other embodiments are also possible.

Example embodiments include an aerogel composition for battery insulation sheets, the aerogel composition including a reinforcement material including a first fibrous support and a second fibrous support, an aerogel, a functional material including a binder, a dispersant, or a combination thereof, and a solvent, wherein the first fibrous support and the second fibrous support have different ingredients. Example embodiments also include a method of manufacturing the aerogel composition, a battery insulation sheet formed using the aerogel composition, and a method of manufacturing the battery insulation sheet.

The present disclosure relates to laminated armor materials for enhanced ballistic protection. In particular, the present disclosure relates to laminated armor materials comprising first and second armor materials and a laminated adhesive layer comprising nanomaterial fillers.

Composite materials that are especially recyclable, the composite materials having at least two material layers bonded by a layer of adhesive. For an easy and clean separation of the two material layers the adhesive consists of a material that loses its adhesive effect when introduced into a weakly acidic solution.

An article comprises a substrate having a first portion comprising at least one of a metal or a ceramic metal oxide. A composite foam is bonded to the metal or ceramic metal oxide. The composite foam comprises: at least one polymer preparable by ring-opening metathesis polymerization; at least one catalyst for the ring-opening metathesis polymerization; at least one difunctional coupling agent represented by ZXZ. Each Z independently represents a group that is chemically reactive with at least one of the chemically bound surface hydroxyl groups thereby forming at least one covalent bond. Each X independently represents a divalent organic linking group having a number average molecular weight of 500 to 10000 grams per mole; and at least one of hollow glass microspheres or expanded polymeric microspheres. A method of making the article is also disclosed.

A method for rapidly repairing a road surface includes: forming a base layer reinforcing material by low-shrinkage unsaturated polyester resin, diluent, expansion agent, accelerator, and polymerization inhibitor, adding a curing agent and pouring into a base layer at a damaged part of the road surface until infiltration is stopped; laying chopped basalt fiber, forming a surface layer repair material by acrylate monomer, acrylic resin polymer, silane coupling agent, calcium carbonate powder, talc powder, quartz sand, metal hydroxide flame retardant and accelerator, polymerization inhibitor and short cut basalt fiber; adding curing agent to fill the road surface and solidifying. The repairing method can not only play a reinforcing effect on the road base, but also repair the surface layer on the damaged parts such as cracks on road surface, so as to realize the dual functions of the base layer reinforcement and the surface layer repair.
