Abstract: It is intended to provide a composition which has well-balanced pressure-sensitive adhesiveness and cohesive force as well as favorable application properties to the skin, and a patch which has the above-described characteristics and hardly peels off. This object can be achieved by providing a composition comprising an acrylic copolymer containing from 3 to 25% by weight of hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate as a constituent, a plasticizer and a pseudo-crosslinking compound, wherein the ratio of the content of the plasticizer to the content of the pseudo-crosslinking compound ranges from 30:1 to 250:1, and a patch.

Abstract: The invention provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive for the skin excellent in pressure-sensitive adhesiveness to the human skin and repeelability therefrom, which does not cause the horny layer to be torn away in peeling and is lowly irritant to the skin; and tapes or sheets made by using the same. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is characterized by comprising (a) 100 parts by weight of a copolymer which is prepared from an olefinic macromonomer and a vinyl monomer and whose molecular weight (in terms of polystyrene and as determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC)) has a two-peak distribution (with the proviso that when the copolymer is to be post-cured, the distribution is one as determined before the post cure) and (b) 20 to 250 parts by weight of a softener which is compatible with the copolymer and liquid or pasty at room temperature and has a boiling point of 250 or above (with the proviso that when the content of the softener (b) exceeds 80 parts by weight, the copolymer must be post-cured).

Abstract: A conductive fine sphere with a K-value and a recovery factor in a predetermined range is provided. Suppose a load value (kgf) is F, a compression displacement (mm) is S, and a radius (mm) is R at 10% compression deformation of this spacer, a K-value defined as the following equation is in the range of 250 kgf/mm.sup.2 to 700 kgf/mm.sup.2 at 20.degree. C., and a recovery factor after the compression deformation is in the range of 30% to 80% at 20.degree. C.

Abstract: A spherical spacer is provided for defining a gap dimension between substrates of a liquid crystal display. The K-value (hardness of a sphere) of the spherical spacer is defined as: ##EQU1## (wherein F and S represent a load value (kgf) and a compression displacement (mm) at 10% compression deformation of said fine sphere, respectively, and R represents a radius (mm) of said fine sphere) which is in the range of 250 kgf/mm.sup.2 to 700 kgf/mm.sup.2 at 20.degree. C.; and a recovery factor after the compression deformation which is in the range of 30% to 80% at 20.degree. C. A spherical spacer matching the newly found limitations and defining the gap between a pair of substrates into which liquid crystal is filled reduces the damage to an alignment coat when compared with spacers being too hard, and reduces quality deterioration of the image when compared with spacers being too soft.
