  • Publication number: 20190111610
    Abstract: Surface-structured polymer bodies in which polymer bodies with dimensions of at least ?100 cm2 are present. The surfaces of the bodies are at least partially covered with at least one nano- to micrometer-thick layer, and the layers are physically and/or chemically coupled to the polymer bodies, and the surface of the polymer bodies with the layers is at least partially deformed. The deformation is periodic within a deformation type and the arrangement of multiple different deformation types on a polymer body is anisotropic or isotropic, and the elastic modulus of the material of the polymer body is less than the elastic modulus of the layer materials.

  • Publication number: 20180148619
    Abstract: The task of the invention is to provide an improved solution for a bond for the surface gluing of components where the bond has an uneven distribution of stress in different areas of the adhesive surface. Corresponding to the stress, such as the distribution of tension, an adhesive should be adjustable in its properties to fit the tension within the adhesive surface, whereby advantageous effects between the respective adhesive adjustments should be used.
