## Abstract

Adhesive tape for attaching, covering and mechanically reinforcing surfaces with a carrier layer and an adhesive layer adhering thereto, wherein the carrier layer is composed of a matrix material in which fibers are embedded.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An adhesive tape for attaching, covering and mechanically reinforcing surfaces, the adhesive tape having a carrier layer and an adhesive layer adhering to the carrier layer, wherein the carrier layer is of a matrix material in which fibers are embedded.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the fibers are embedded in the matrix material such that on at least one lateral surface of the fibers are located entirely under the surface of the matrix material of the carrier layer.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the fibers are arranged unidirectionally in the matrix material and wherein the fibers comprise continuous or discontinuous fibers.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the fibers have a fiber volume content of 15% to 80% based on the volume of the carrier layer.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the fibers are of a modulus of elasticity in the range of 10 GPa to 1000 GPa.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the fibers are of a tensile strength in the range of 50 MPa to 10000 MPa.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the matrix material comprises voids, and wherein the volume fraction of the voids is 10% at a maximum.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein each fiber is of natural or synthetic polymers or inorganic materials.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the matrix material comprises a thermoplastic, a thermoset, an elastomer or a thermoplastic elastomer.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the carrier layer is of a thickness in the range of 0.1 mm to 7 mm.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the carrier layer is of a width of 6 mm to 2000 mm.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the adhesive layer is of a thickness in the range of 0.01 mm to 2 mm.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the adhesive layer is selected from the groups consisting of polymerization, polyaddition and polycondensation adhesives, solvent-containing adhesives, dispersion adhesives, hot-melt adhesives, contact adhesives, or plastisols, in particular epoxy or polyurethane adhesives, phenol-formaldehyde resin adhesives or silicones, methyl-methacrylate adhesives, cyanoacrylate adhesives, anaerobic-curing adhesives or combinations thereof are used.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The adhesive tape according to claim 1, wherein the adhesive layer is selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic hot-melt adhesives, such as ethylene-vinyl-acetate copolymers (EVA), thermoplastic rubbers (TK), synthetic rubbers (SBS/SIS), polyester (PET), polyester (PES), polyamides (PA), polyolefins (PO), amorphous poly-α-olefins (APAO), the group consisting of reactive or encapsulated hot-melt adhesives (e.g. by UV, humidity, temperature), such as polyurethane hot-melt adhesives (PUR), polyolefin hot-melt adhesives (POR), acrylates, silane-terminated hot-melt adhesives, epoxies with thermoplastic character, silicones with thermoplastic character as well as the group consisting of hot-melt adhesives or elastomers having permanent adhesiveness, such as ethylene-vinyl-acetate copolymers (EVA), thermoplastic rubbers (TK), synthetic rubbers (SBS/SIS), polyester (PET), polyester (PES), polyamides (PA), polyolefins (PO), amorphous poly-α-olefins (APAO) or combinations of these groups.
