Abstract: The invention relates to a film adhesive for bonding at least two joint partners, containing an adhesive for an adhesive connection of the joint partners and a flat textile support material. The adhesive is applied onto the flat textile support material in the form of a film, and the flat textile support material has at least one first section which adjoins at least one second section of the support material. The support material of the first section has a modified material and/or is chemically and/or geometrically modified compared to the support material of the second section such that after curing the adhesive, the adhesive connection has a mechanical property in the region of the first section relating to an elongation at break or fracture toughness which differs from the mechanical property of the adhesive connection in the region of the second section.
