    Abstract: A pressure sensitive adhesive includes a substantially continuous polymer phase having pressure sensitive adhesive properties, and a plurality of pores arranged within the substantially continuous polymer phase and disposed to permit fluid to pass from a first side through at least a portion of the plurality of pores to a second side. The plurality of pores is substantially resistant to cold flow. A method of forming a porous pressure sensitive adhesive tape includes providing a solution for forming an adhesive having pressure sensitive adhesive properties, the solution including a pore forming material, casting a film comprising the solution, laminating a liner on the film, and exposing the adhesive to an energy source to form pores in the adhesive and cure the adhesive to form the pressure sensitive adhesive tape.

  • Publication number: 20090022967
    Abstract: In order to enable lamination of materials of different kinds, such as a synthetic resin plate and a glass plate, without leaving bubbles between the materials, a double sided adhesive sheet (1) is formed by forming an adhesive layer (3) cross-linked with ultraviolet light on one surface of a sheet (2) with an inorganic oxide layer (2B) and forming an adhesive layer (4) cross-linked by heating or moisture on the other surface of the sheet (2). A glass plate (6) is applied to the adhesive layer (3), and a synthetic resin plate (7) is applied to the adhesive layer (4), thereby forming a laminate panel (5).
