  • Adhesive bonding to quasi-amorphous polymer surfaces
    Patent number: 5028292
    Abstract: Semicrystalline polymers can have predetermined amounts of their surfaces rendered quasi-amorphous by irradiation. Polymer surfaces which are so modified can display enhanced ability to accept bonding to other materials, particularly adhesives.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 1988
    Date of Patent: July 2, 1991
    Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company
    Inventors: Joseph H. Incremona, Arthur A. Aamodt, Robert W. Warner, Andrew J. Ouderkirk, Douglas S. Dunn
  • Dry transfer graphics article method of preparation
    Patent number: 4999076
    Abstract: Methods of preparation of dry transfer graphics article. The article is self-weeding to transfer fine graphic images without the use of detackifying radiation, solvents, etc. One of the elements of the article is a carrier having a surface which is compatible with an adhesive having a low work to fracture. The article further comprises a graphic pattern formed on the adhesive.
    Type: Grant

  • Lithographic printing plate with oleophilic area of radiation exposed adduct of diazo resin and sulfonated polymer
    Patent number: 4408532
    Abstract: A light-sensitive adduct comprising the combination of a diazo resin having a plurality of pendant diazonium groups and a sulfonated polymer having a plurality of sulfonate groups and a presensitized light-sensitive article comprising a substrate having a light-sensitive coating which is comprised of the light-sensitive adduct on a surface thereof. After imagewise exposure, unexposed portions of the coating are removable by water or aqueous developers.
