Abstract: A method of preparation of olefin-functionalized fluorosilicones, the properties of which can be optimized, for example, as release liners for silicone adhesives, the method including subjecting a mixture of a hydride-functional polysiloxane, a first compound having a terminal monosubstituted olefin, and a second compound having both a terminal monosubstituted olefin and an internal disubstituted olefin to hydrosilylation conditions to provide a hydrosilylated fluorosilicone with internal olefins and reacting the hydrosilylated fluorosilicone with internal olefins with ethylene in the presence of an olefin metathesis catalyst to provide the olefin- functionalized fluorosilicone. Articles including such olefin-functionalized fluorosilicones.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides furniture pads having multiple segments that can coupled and decoupled to accommodate a desired size. The pads include a body of a protective material, with an inner segment and a first outer segment. The inner segment has at least one smaller cross-sectional dimension than the outer segment. Additional outer segments can have progressively increasing cross-sectional dimensions such that the all resulting segments are nested.

Abstract: Silicone polyoxamide and silicone polyoxamide-hydrazide copolymers comprise at least two repeating units of formula (I). In this formula, each R1 is independently an alkyl, haloalkyl, aralkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or aryl substituted with an alkyl, alkoxy, or halo; each Y is independently an alkylene, aralkylene, or a combination thereof; each G is independently a bond or a divalent residue equal to a diamine of formula R3HN—G—HR3 minus the two —NHR3 groups; each R3 is independently hydrogen or alkyl or R3 taken together with G and with the nitrogen to which they are both attached form a heterocyclic group; each n is independently an integer of 0 to 300; each p is independently an integer of 1 to 25, and the average of p is 1.3 or greater; and each q is independently an integer of 1 to 2, and the average of q is no greater than 1.05.

Abstract: Stretch-release adhesive articles with tunable mechanical properties are provided. The articles include a stretchable carrier extending along a first direction and including a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. At least one of the first and second major surfaces of the stretchable carrier is a stretch-releasable adhesive surface, and the stretchable carrier includes a pattern of slits distributed thereon and configured to deform upon a stretch on the stretchable carrier to elongate the stretchable carrier.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to conformable adhesive articles that are capable of attaching or adhering to a substrate and that can be removed from the substrate without causing damage to the substrate. The present disclosure also generally relates to methods of making and using such adhesive articles. In some embodiments, the adhesive article includes (1) a releasable layer having a first major surface and a second major surface; the second major surfaces including a pressure sensitive adhesive capable of adhering the adhesive article to a surface; and (2) a compliant layer having a first major surface and a second major surface; the second major surface of the compliant layer adjacent to the first major surface of the releasable layer. In some embodiments, the releasable layer debonds from both the surface and the compliant layer when the adhesive article is stretch released at an angle of less than 35 degrees.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to conformable stretch release adhesive and/or stretch-releasable, adhesive articles that are capable of attaching or adhering to a substrate and that can be removed from the substrate without causing damage to the substrate. The present disclosure also generally relates to methods of making and using such adhesive articles.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides adhesive mounting articles that permit sliding movement along a primary path, even while the article is fixed between a mounting object and a mounting surface. The adhesive articles can allow user precise control over the location and orientation of his or her mounting object, particularly frames.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to conformable stretch release adhesive and/or stretch-releasable, adhesive articles that are capable of attaching or adhering to a substrate and that can be removed from the substrate without causing damage to the substrate.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to improved furniture pads that provide an opportunity to repair the connection between the pad and a furniture surface, the integrity of the pad, or both. In some instances, this can be accomplished by providing a pad comprising multiple pad bodies, each of which can has a protective surface. The pad bodies can be stacked or removed depending on the relationship between the furniture and the floor. In other instances, multiple adhesive layers are arranged on the top surface of a protective pad body, allowing for an adhesive bond to be refreshed and restored if the pad fails.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a mounting system capable of affixing an object to a wall or vertical surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to adhesive articles including a multilayer carrier between two peelable adhesive layers. The multilayer carrier provides enhanced conformability to the adhesive article, which under certain circumstances can increase or enhance the product performance on surfaces (e.g., rough or textured surfaces such as, for example, wallpaper, drywall, cinderblock, etc.).

Abstract: Mounting blocks comprising a body having first and second mounting faces and first and second hanging faces wherein the first mounting face and first hanging face are opposing faces on the body and the second mounting face and second hanging face are opposing faces on the body, wherein: the first and second mounting faces are each adapted to be mounted to a mounting surface; the first and second hanging faces are each adapted to retain a decorative article.
