  • Publication number: 20160046839
    Abstract: Provided is a removable self-adhesive film excellent in stylus-friendliness and the adhesiveness between an adhesive layer and a substrate layer. The removable self-adhesive film includes a substrate layer, an adhesive layer, and a primer layer between the substrate layer and the adhesive layer, in which the adhesive layer comprises a vinyl group-containing thermoplastic elastomer, an acrylic acid ester, a photopolymerization initiator, and a plasticizer, and the primer layer is composed of a polymer that comprises a polyester-based polymer as a main component and has a hydroxyl group or a vinyl group.

  • Patent number: 8703382
    Abstract: A photosensitive resin composition for flexographic printing having excellent resistance to an ink comprising an organic solvent and an emulsion ink used in flexographic printing, for example, a UV-curable ink or an ink using a vegetable oil or light naphtha and having excellent suitability for printing applications such as image reproducibility and print durability. The photosensitive resin composition for flexographic printing includes, at least, (a) one or more thermoplastic elastomers, (b) an acrylic-terminated liquid polybutadiene containing 1,2-bonds in an amount of 80% or more, (c) a photopolymerizable unsaturated monomer having at least one or more ethylenically unsaturated groups, and (d) a photopolymerization initiator.

  • Patent number: 8535789
    Abstract: A microchip plate made such that polymer substrates made, in particular, of a cycloolefin polymer (COP) or a cycloolefin copolymer (COC) can be appropriately bonded to each other and a process for producing the microchip plate are provided. A microchip plate (1) of an embodiment is constituted by a first substrate (2) and a second substrate (3), which are bonded to each other through an adhesive layer (5), wherein the first substrate (2) and the second substrate (3) are formed by a COP or a COC, and the adhesive layer (5) is formed of paraffin or naphthene or formed including paraffin or naphthene and at least any one of an adhesion auxiliary material, a polymer constituting each of the first substrate and the second substrate, and a macromonomer.

  • Patent number: 8071212
    Abstract: A self-adhesive film comprises a substrate layer and an adhesive layer on the substrate layer, which comprises a carboxylic acid-modified thermoplastic elastomer, a carboxylic acid-unmodified thermoplastic elastomer, a crosslinking agent and a plasticizer. A self-adhesive functional film comprises a substrate layer, an adhesive layer formed on one side of the substrate layer, and a functional layer on the other side of the substrate layer which has at least one of antireflective, electromagnetic wave blocking, heat ray cutting off, antistatic, anticlauding, antibacterial, deodorizing easy-adhering, antifouling functions and hard coat layer.
