Abstract
A contact printable adhesive composition comprises (a) swellable, elastomeric microspheres and (b) at least one polymerizable monomer or a mixture of polymerizable monomers capable of swelling the microspheres. As used in this application “contact printable adhesive composition” is a composition that can be used in a contact printing process and then cured. The cured contact printable adhesive composition will generally be referred to as “contact printed adhesive”.
Claims29
A method of using a contact printable adhesive composition comprises the steps of:
- (a) providing a printable adhesive composition comprising:
- (i) a single rheological modifier of swellable, elastomeric microspheres, and (ii) at least one polymerizable monomer or a mixture of polymerizable monomers capable of swelling the microspheres, and (b) applying the printable adhesive composition to a substrate using a contact printing process.
An article of commerce comprising:
- (i) a substrate having a major surface, and (ii) a contact printed pattern of an adhesive on the major surface of the substrate, wherein the adhesive comprises (a) a single rheological modifier of swellable, elastomeric microspheres, and (b) at least one polymerizable monomer or a mixture of polymerizable monomers capable of swelling the microspheres.
An article of commerce comprising:
- (i) a substrate having a major surface, and (ii) a contact printed pattern of an adhesive on the major surface of the substrate, wherein the adhesive comprises the polymerization product of (a) a single rheological modifier of swellable, elastomeric microspheres, and (b) at least one polymerizable monomer or a mixture of polymerizable monomers capable of swelling the microspheres.
A method of using a contact printable adhesive composition comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a printable adhesive composition consisting essentially of:
- (i) swellable, elastomeric microspheres, and (ii) at least one polymerizable monomer or a mixture of polymerizable monomers capable of swelling the microspheres, and (b) applying the printable adhesive composition to a substrate using a contact printing process.
An article of commerce comprising:
- (i) a substrate having a major surface, and (ii) a contact printed pattern of an adhesive on the major surface of the substrate, wherein the adhesive consists essentially of (a) swellable, elastomeric microspheres, and (b) at least one polymerizable monomer or a mixture of polymerizable monomers capable of swelling the microspheres.
An article of commerce comprising:
- (i) a substrate having a major surface, and (ii) a contact printed pattern of an adhesive on the major surface of the substrate, wherein the adhesive consists essentially of the polymerization product of (a) swellable, elastomeric microspheres, and (b) at least one polymerizable monomer or a mixture of polymerizable monomers capable of swelling the microspheres.
