Abstract
A method of and system for adhesive bonding by a) providing a polymerizable adhesive composition on a surface of an element to be bonded to form an assembly; b) irradiating the assembly with radiation at a first wavelength capable of vulcanization of bonds in the polymerizable adhesive composition by activation of sulfur-containing compound with at least one selected from x-ray, e-beam, visible, or infrared light to thereby generate ultraviolet light in the polymerizable adhesive composition; and c) adhesively joining two or more components together by way of the polymerizable adhesive composition, and a curable polymer for use therein.
Claims63
A method of adhesive bonding, comprising:
- a) providing an adherent structure including one or more rubber compounds on a surface of an element to be bonded, wherein providing an adherent structure comprises modifying said surface of the element to be bonded to increase a surface energy thereof;
- b) placing a polymerizable adhesive composition, including at least one photoinitiator and at least one energy converting material, in contact with the adherent structure and two or more components to be bonded to form an assembly;
- c) irradiating the assembly with radiation at a first wavelength, capable of conversion by the at least one energy converting material to a second wavelength capable of activating the at least one photoinitiator to produce from the polymerizable adhesive composition a cured adhesive composition;
- and
- d) adhesively joining the two or more components by way of the adherent structure and the cured adhesive composition.
A method of adhesive bonding, comprising:
- a) providing an adherent structure including one or more rubber compounds on a surface of an element to be bonded, wherein providing an adherent structure comprises applying a primer to said surface of the element to be bonded;
- b) placing a polymerizable adhesive composition, including at least one photoinitiator and at least one energy converting material, in contact with the adherent structure and two or more components to be bonded to form an assembly;
- c) irradiating the assembly with radiation at a first wavelength, capable of conversion by the at least one energy converting material to a second wavelength capable of activating the at least one photoinitiator to produce from the polymerizable adhesive composition a cured adhesive composition;
- and
- d) adhesively joining the two or more components by way of the adherent structure and the cured adhesive composition, wherein providing an adherent structure comprises applying a primer to said surface of the element to be bonded.
