Abstract: A method is employed for repairing an electronic device. The electronic device includes a base plate, a component installed on the base plate, and a second workpiece adhered on the base plate by an adhesive agent which is positioned adjacent to or away from the component. The method includes the following procedures. A reflective layer is formed on a side of the base plate away from the component to cover the part of the base plate corresponding to the component, and the reflective protection layer is capable of reflecting infrared radiation to protect the component. The adhesive agent is softened by infrared radiation to decrease an adhesive strength of the adhesive agent. The remaining reflective protection layer is removed. The electronic device is dissembled to separate the first workpiece from the second workpiece.

Abstract: A method for removing an adhesive agent from a base plate with a plurality of accessories installed adjacent to the adhesive agent includes certain steps. The steps form a protection layer on the base plate, and the protection layer completely covers the electronic members and completely or partially covers the adhesive agent. The protection layer is solidified and a part of the protection layer is removed to expose the adhesive agent. The base plate is soaked in a removing solution to soften the adhesive agent and decrease an adhering strength of the adhesive agent, the protection layer being resistant to the removing solution to protect the electronic members. The softened adhesive agent is scraped off and the remaining protection layer removed.

Abstract: A high-strength but non-permanent adhesive structure includes an adhering member, a surface treatment layer, and an adhesive layer. The surface treatment layer is sandwiched between the adhering member and the adhesive layer. The surface treatment layer includes a plurality of expansion particles. The expansion particles are configured to expand at a predetermined temperature equal to or higher than a softening temperature thereof, such that an adhesive strength between the adhering member and the adhesive layer is decreased and adhered pieces can be easily separated. A surface treatment agent is used for making the adhesive structure.

Abstract: An adhesive tape is disclosed. The adhesive tape includes a base layer made of light guide materials, a first adhesive layer, and a second adhesive layer. The base layer is positioned and bonded between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer. In use, a first workpiece is adhered to the first adhesive layer, and a second workpiece is adhered to the second adhesive layer. When the first workpiece is required to delaminate, depart or removed from the second workpiece, even if the first workpiece and the second workpiece are made of non-transparent or opaque materials, light can enter the base layer from and through the incident surface, and then emits out from the two emitting surfaces. Thus, the first workpiece can be easily removed from the second workpiece due to the UV deactivation of adhesiveness of the adhesive layer through the incident surface of the base layer.

Abstract: An adhesive tape includes a first adhesive layer and a pair of second adhesive layers respectively formed on two opposite surfaces of the first adhesive layer. The second pressure sensitive adhesive layers are pressure sensitive adhesive layers which provide initial adhesion. The second adhesive layer can be lifted and reused many times, so the final location of the adhesive tape is made correctly and accurately. The adhesive tape is cured to full bond strength by heating only once.

Abstract: An adhesive tape is non-permanent before pressing and heating includes a protective layer, an adhesive layer formed on the protective layer, and a plurality of adhesive particles dispersed on the adhesive layer. The adhesive force of the adhesive particles is less than that of the adhesive layer. The adhesive tape is easily peeled off from a workpiece to allow reworking before final bonding is required.
