Upcycling is an eco-friendly method that turns waste into valuable items. Elemental sulfur, a substance produced in large amounts (70 million tons per year), can be converted polymers using inverse vulcanization. However, the traditional had significant limitations, such as limited consumption and weak strength. To address this problem, we newly fabricated sulfur-based pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). PSAs are soft tacky materials should have low modulus, they used extensively (3.1...

For flexible displays, recovery and relaxation of acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) must be enhanced; however, only a few studies have focused on their optimization. High cross-linking density the PSA leads to improved but deteriorates stress relaxation; thus, it is difficult perform optimization by simply controlling density. Herein, was determined that UV-patterned with both high low densities in single layer enables relaxation. By introducing PSA, elasticity largely deteriorated...
Owing to their excellent properties, such as transparency, resistance oxidation, and high adhesivity, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are widely used. Recently, solvent-free PSAs, which typically prepared via photopolymerization, have attracted increasing attention because of the current strict environmental regulations. UV light is commonly used an excitation source for whereas visible light, safer humans, rarely utilized. In this study, we PSAs light-driven photoredox-mediated...
Large-scale fabrication of neutron-shielding films with flexible or complex shapes is challenging. Uniform and high boron carbide (B4C) filler loads sufficient workability are needed to achieve good neutron-absorption capacity. Here, we show that a two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2Tx MXene hybrid film homogeneously distributed B4C particles exhibits mechanical flexibility anomalous properties. Layered solution-processable 2D flakes serve as an ideal robust matrix for high-content fillers (60 wt.%)....
Adhesives play a critical role in the assembly of electronic devices, particularly as devices become more diverse form factors. Flexible displays require highly transparent and rapidly recoverable adhesives with certain stiffness. In this study, novel structured are developed that incorporate bicontinuous nanodomains to fabricate flexible low moduli. This structure is obtained via polymerization-induced microphase separation using macro chain transfer agent (CTA). Phase characterized...
Epoxy foam adhesives are widely used for weight reduction, watertight property, and mechanical reinforcement effects. However, epoxy have poor impact resistance at higher expansion ratios. Hence, we prepared an composite adhesive with core–shell rubber (CSR) particles to improve the applied it automotive structural adhesives. The curing behavior pore structure were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) X-ray computed tomography (CT), respectively, wedge–peel tests...
In order to overcome the issues of rework and height difference in manufacturing smart devices, UV/UV stepwise curing was conducted on acrylate-based optically clear adhesives.Photo differential scanning calorimetry used confirm results samples that were processed both with without acrylic acid, over a range UV light exposure times for primary process.The at 0.6 J/cm 2 energy acid showed highest amount residual monomers after curing.The observed primary-cured decreased as increased, from 0.9...
Adhesives with excellent adhesion and high elongation at cryogenic temperatures are necessary for fields such as aerospace, transportation, superconductors, medicine, but have difficult requirements. This study aimed to develop a solvent-free, two-component polyurethane (PU) adhesive elongation, especially in ultra-low temperature conditions. we incorporated bulky polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) diol into the hard segment of PU enhance flexibility improve physical cross-linking within matrix....
In this study, we synthesized a gallol-functionalized PSA and generated micropatterns on its surface to improve underwater adhesion. Compared the adhesive-substrate interactions of benzyl phenol-functionalized PSAs in water, Gallol exhibited greater with substrate. Furthermore, micropattern provided drainage channel for water during bonding process so that is not trapped at substrate-adhesive interface. Moreover, allows formation small uniform adhesion defects, which minimize deterioration...
