Abstract: The present disclosure provides a structural adhesive film having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface, wherein the structural adhesive film exhibits on the second major surface a lower coefficient of friction according to DIN EN ISO 8295 than on the first major surface, wherein the coefficient of friction according to DIN EN ISO 8295 of the second major surface is at least 15% lower than the coefficient of friction according to DIN EN ISO 8295 of the first major surface of the structural adhesive film.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a curable precursor of an adhesive composition, comprising: a) a (meth)acrylate-based (co)polymer base component comprising the free-radical (co)polymerization reaction product of a (co)polymerizable material comprising: i. C1-C32 acrylic acid ester monomer units; ii. optionally, C1-C18 methacrylic acid ester monomer units; and iii. optionally, ethylenically unsaturated monomer units having a functional group and which are copolymerizable with monomer units (i) and/or (ii); b) a crosslinker for the (meth)acrylate-based (co)polymer base component, which comprises at least one acid-functional group derived from phosphoric acid and at least one free-radical (co)polymerizable reactive group; c) a polyether oligomer having a number average molecular weight of at least 2000 g/mol and which comprises at least one free-radical (co)polymerizable reactive group; and d) a thermally conductive particulate material.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a curable precursor of a structural adhesive composition, comprising: a) a cationically self-polymerizable monomer; b) a polymerization initiator of the cationically self-polymerizable monomer which is initiated at a temperature T1; c) a curable monomer which is different from the cationically self-polymerizable monomer; and d) a curing initiator of the curable monomer which is initiated at a temperature T2 and which is different from the polymerization initiator of the cationically self-polymerizable monomer; and e) a thixotropic agent. According to another aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a partially cured precursor of a structural adhesive composition. According to still another aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method of bonding two parts.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for modifying a substrate, including the following steps: the substrate is contacted with at least one amino-cellulose derivative and/or with at least one NH2-(organo)polysiloxane derivative; a composite substrate material is formed from the substrate and the amino-cellulose derivative and/or the substrate and the NH2-(organo)polysiloxane derivative. Said method enables a customized structural substrate design to be obtained. The resulting composite substrate material can be used to produce implants, detectors and scanning probe tips.
