Compressible liquid seals with discontinuous adhesives

A compressible seal, comprising:

• a compressible body comprising an elastomeric matrix comprising an elastomer having a first surface and a second surface;
• and
• a pattern of discontinuous adhesive regions comprising an adhesive connected to at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the elastomeric matrix of the compressible body,
• wherein the compressible body has a first thickness, wherein the compressible body is configured to compress by at least 15% of the first thickness under a compressive stress of 1 MPa, and wherein the pattern of adhesive regions has a thickness of less than 15% of the first thickness such that the compressible body is configured to conform around the pattern of adhesive regions to prevent fluid ingress when the compressible body is compressed in a direction perpendicular to the first or second surface.
