Abstract
Compositions capable of rapidly curing to a strong substrate bond are removable from a surface to which the composition is bonded without damage to the underlying substrates. The compositions of the present invention may be used in both temporary and permanent bonding and coating applications.
Claims51
An electrochemically disbondable composition, comprising:
- a matrix functionality comprising a monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylics, methacrylics, and combinations thereof;
- and
- an electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte provides sufficient ionic conductivity to said composition to support a faradaic reaction at a bond formed between the composition and an electrically conductive surface and allow the composition to disbond from the surface;
- and
- a free radical initiator.
The composition of 25, wherein the cure accelerant comprises mercaptan or tetramethyl ethylenediamine.
The composition of 25, wherein the curing agent comprises at least one member of the group consisting of linear aliphatic amines, cycloaliphatic amines, or combinations thereof.
The composition of 23, wherein the electrolyte includes a salt capable of being solvated into the composition.
