Abstract
Embodiments provide adhesives for apparel products. The apparel product includes a major component and a minor component. The major component forms a base portion of the apparel product and is configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer. The minor component of the apparel product forms a secondary portion and is configured to be coupled to the major component. An adhesive is disposed at least partially between a portion of the major component and a portion of the minor component. The adhesive includes a material having a thioester bond.
Claims20
An apparel product, comprising:
- a major component of the apparel product, the major component forming a base portion of the apparel product and configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer;
- a minor component of the apparel product forming a secondary portion configured to be coupled to the major component;
- and
- an adhesive having an thioester bond disposed at least partially between a portion of the major component and a portion of the minor component, the adhesive comprising:
- a first polymer functionalized with a thiol or thioester moiety, the first polymer comprising one or more first monomeric units selected from the group consisting of an acrylate, a methacrylate, an acrylic, ethylene, propylene, a styrene, a vinyl acetate, a vinyl ester, and combinations thereof;
- and
- a second polymer functionalized with a thiol or thioester moiety, the second polymer formed from one or more second monomeric units selected from the group consisting of an acrylate, a methacrylate, an acrylic, ethylene, propylene, a styrene, a vinyl acetate, a vinyl ester, and combinations thereof, wherein the first and second polymers are crosslinked to one another to form the adhesive.
An apparel product, comprising:
- a major component of the apparel product, the major component forming a base portion of the apparel product and configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer;
- a first composition disposed on a portion of the major component of the apparel product the first composition comprising a first polymer functionalized with a thiol or thioester moiety, the first polymer comprising one or more first monomeric units selected from the group consisting of an acrylate, a methacrylate, an acrylic, ethylene, propylene, a styrene, a vinyl acetate, a vinyl ester, and combinations thereof;
- a minor component of the apparel product forming a secondary portion configured to be coupled to the major component;
- and
- a second composition disposed on a portion of the minor component of the apparel product, the second composition comprising a second polymer functionalized with a thiol or thioester moiety, the second polymer formed from one or more second monomeric units selected from the group consisting of an acrylate, a methacrylate, an acrylic, ethylene, propylene, a styrene, a vinyl acetate, a vinyl ester, and combinations thereof, wherein the first composition and the second composition are crosslinked to one another to form an adhesive comprising a thioester bond.
An adhesive for an apparel product comprising:
- a first polymer functionalized with a thiol or thioester moiety, the first polymer comprising one or more first monomeric units selected from the group consisting of an acrylate, a methacrylate, an acrylic, ethylene, propylene, a styrene, a vinyl acetate, a vinyl ester, and combinations thereof;
- and
- a second polymer functionalized with a thiol or thioester moiety, the second polymer formed from one or more second monomeric units selected from the group consisting of an acrylate, a methacrylate, an acrylic, ethylene, propylene, a styrene, a vinyl acetate, a vinyl ester, and combinations thereof, wherein the first and second polymers are crosslinked to one another to form an adhesive having a thioester bond.
