Abstract
An adhesive composition includes a photoinitiator and an acrylate-cyanoacrylate monomer. The acrylate-cyanoacrylate monomer includes at least one acrylate functional group to enable photo-curing of the adhesive composition and at least one cyanoacrylate functional group to enable latent curing of the adhesive composition.

An adhesive composition comprising a photoinitiator and an acrylate-cyanoacrylate monomer, the acrylate-cyanoacrylate monomer including at least one acrylate functional group to enable photo-curing of the adhesive composition and at least one cyanoacrylate functional group to enable latent curing of the adhesive composition.
A process of forming an acrylate-cyanoacrylate monomer, the process comprising:
- forming a mixture that includes a polyol, acrylic acid, and 2-cyanoacrylic acid;
- and
- initiating a transesterification reaction to form an acrylate-cyanoacrylate monomer having at least one acrylate functional group and at least one cyanoacrylate functional group.
A component assembly process comprising:
- applying an adhesive composition to a first component, the adhesive composition including a photoinitiator and an acrylate-cyanoacrylate monomer having at least one acrylate functional group to enable photo-curing of the adhesive composition and at least one cyanoacrylate functional group to enable latent curing of the adhesive composition;
- and
- exposing the adhesive composition to actinic radiation to initiate the photo-curing for fixing the first component to a second component, the latent curing for filling gaps between the first component and the second component.
