Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a composite.The present invention relates to a method for separating a conductor from an electroreleasable adhesive layer. [Background technology]

[0002] Adhesives that can be peeled off from an adherend by application of a voltage (hereinafter also referred to as "electrically peelable adhesive bodies") are known. For example, Patent Document 1 describes an electrically peelable adhesive sheet that leaves no adhesive residue even when a low voltage is applied.

[0003] Electroreleasable adhesives are used in the form of a sheet or tape with adhesive layers on both sides. For example, an electroreleasable adhesive can be interposed between two objects to fix one object to the other. Here, when an electroreleasable adhesive is used to fix one object A to another object B, object A is called the object to be fixed and object B is called the adherend. By attaching the object to the adhesive surface of the electroreleasable adhesive and the adherend to each other, the object to be fixed can be fixed to the adherend via the electroreleasable adhesive. When electrode terminals are connected to the adherend and the adherend and a voltage is applied, the electroreleasable adhesive loses its adhesive force at the surface in contact with the object to be fixed. As a result, the object to be fixed can be separated from the adherend. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0036] [Complex] In this embodiment, a composite body is provided that includes an electro-releasable adhesive body (hereinafter also simply referred to as an adhesive body), a first conductor, a second conductor, and a third conductor.

[0037] An electro-releasable adhesive body has a planar substrate, a first electro-releasable adhesive layer formed on a first surface of the substrate, and a second electro-releasable adhesive layer formed on a second surface of the substrate, and has electro-releasability. "Electro-releasability" refers to the property of being able to separate an electrical conductor attached to an adhesive body by applying a voltage to the adhesive body to reduce the adhesiveness of the adhesive body. A schematic diagram of the structure of an adhesive body is shown in Figure 1. In Figure 1, 10 represents the electro-releasable adhesive body, 11 represents the first electro-releasable adhesive layer, 12 represents the second electro-releasable adhesive layer, and 13 represents the substrate. Although not shown in Figure 1, in the following drawings, 1 represents the first conductor, 2 represents the second conductor, 3 represents the third conductor, 4 represents the fourth conductor, 20 represents the insulator, 30 represents the conductive auxiliary material, 40 represents the electro-releasable adhesive layer, and 100 represents a DC power source. The terms used to construct an adhesive body or composite are described below.

[0038] A composite is formed by applying a first conductor, a second conductor, and a third conductor to an adhesive body. An example of the composite is shown in Fig. 2A. Fig. 2A shows a cross section of a composite placed with the first conductor at the bottom, cut vertically (the same applies to other examples below). Fig. 2A shows a composite (composite 1) in which the first conductor is applied to the first electrically releasable adhesive layer of the adhesive body, the second conductor and the third conductor are applied to the second electrically releasable adhesive layer, and the second conductor and the third conductor are further insulated from each other by air.

[0039] Figure 2B shows the composite 1 connected to a DC power supply. In Figure 2B, the terminals of the two electrodes extending from the DC power supply are connected to the second and third conductors, respectively, but not to the first conductor. Figure 2C shows the state after the DC power supply in Figure 2B is turned on and a voltage is applied. As shown in Figure 2C, the second and third conductors apply a voltage via the adhesive body and the first conductor. At this time, current flows from the second conductor to the adhesive body and the first conductor in the Y-axis direction of Figure 2C. Then, the current flows through the first conductor in the X-axis direction of Figure 2C, then passes through the adhesive body again and through the third conductor. This causes electrical peeling between the third conductor and the adhesive body, allowing the third conductor to be separated from the composite 1 as shown in Figure 2D. Note that when a voltage is applied, no current flows through the adhesive body in the X-axis direction of Figure 2C. Therefore, although the second conductor and the third conductor are in contact with each other via the adhesive, they are insulated from each other by air. The first conductor and the second conductor, and the first conductor and the third conductor are in a state where electricity can flow between them via the adhesive, and electricity can flow when a voltage is applied.

[0040] Previously, it was thought that achieving electrodetachment in an electroreleasable adhesive required connecting electrode terminals to a first conductor and a second conductor located on different sides of the adhesive composite 1 and applying a voltage, as shown in FIG. 2E. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2F, current flows through the first and second conductors in the Y-axis direction of FIG. 2F, causing electrodetachment in the second conductor, separating it from the composite, while no current flows through the third conductor. Surprisingly, the present inventors discovered that connecting electrode terminals to a second and third conductor located on the same side of an adhesive composite and applying a voltage can separate the third conductor. This was previously unknown. This allows electrodetachment to occur and separation of the attached conductors even under conditions where it was previously difficult to attach electrode terminals to the first conductor. Furthermore, the adhesive composite used in the present invention recovers its adhesiveness over time after application of electricity. This allows a conductor to be attached to the adhesive composite again after adhesion is restored, and electrical current can be applied at any time to cause electrodetachment again. In this case, for example, an adhesive body is attached to a first conductor on a workbench or the like, and then conductors (second conductor, third conductor) such as metal products before processing are attached to this adhesive body. Then, electricity is passed through the processed metal products to separate them, and this process can be repeated. This improves work efficiency while allowing the adhesive body used for attachment to be reused, thereby reducing the cost of attaching conductors.

[0041] Another example of the separation method of the present invention is shown in Figures 3A to 3C. In the composite (composite 2) of Figure 3A, an insulator is adhered between the second conductor and the third conductor of composite 1. The insulator is in contact with the second conductor and the third conductor, respectively. Figure 3B shows an embodiment in which electrode terminals are connected to the second conductor and the third conductor. By forming a circuit as shown in Figure 3B and applying a voltage, electrical peeling occurs at the contact surface between the adhesive body and the third conductor, and the third conductor can be separated from composite 2 (see Figure 3C). In this case, as in Figure 2C, current flows through the second conductor, adhesive body, first conductor, and third conductor. Therefore, no current flows through the insulator, and no electrical peeling occurs. Furthermore, no current flows between the second conductor and the third conductor and the insulator.

[0042] Another example of the separation method of the present invention is shown in Figures 4A to 4C. The composite (composite 3) in Figure 4A is formed by adhering a first conductor to the first electrically releasing adhesive layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive body, and adhering a second conductor, a third conductor, a fourth conductor, and two insulators to the second electrically releasing adhesive layer. In the composite, the three conductors are in contact with an insulator, and the three conductors are not in direct contact with each other. Figure 4B shows an embodiment in which electrode terminals are connected to the three conductors of composite 3. In Figure 4B, one second conductor is connected to the positive electrode side, and the third and fourth conductors are connected to the negative electrode side. By forming a circuit as shown in Figure 4B and applying a voltage, electrical peeling occurs at the contact surfaces between the pressure-sensitive adhesive body and the third conductor, and between the pressure-sensitive adhesive body and the fourth conductor, and the third and fourth conductors can be separated from composite 3 (see Figure 4C). In Figure 4C, the two conductors on the negative electrode side have separated from the composite, but by changing the connection of the electrode terminals, it is possible to appropriately change which conductors and how many conductors detach from the composite.

[0043] Another example of the separation method of the present invention is shown in Figures 5A to 5C. The composite (composite 4) in Figure 5A is formed by attaching two adhesive bodies to a first conductor, and then attaching a second conductor and a third conductor to each of the two adhesive bodies. Figure 5B shows an embodiment in which electrode terminals are connected to each of the two conductors of composite 4. In Figure 5B, the two conductors are insulated by air. By forming a circuit as shown in Figure 5B and applying a voltage, electrical peeling occurs at the contact surface between the adhesive body and the third conductor, and the third conductor can be separated from composite 4 (see Figure 5C). In this case, current flows from the second conductor to the adhesive body (the side in contact with the second conductor), the first conductor, the adhesive body (the side in contact with the third conductor), and the third conductor. In this way, even when multiple adhesive bodies are used, current can be passed through the first conductor to separate the conductors.

[0044] Another example of the separation method of the present invention is shown in Figures 6A to 6D. Figure 6A is a top view of the composite (composite 5), and Figure 6B is a cross-sectional view of the dotted line portion of composite 5 in Figure 6A. Composite 5 in Figure 6A is formed as follows. First, a first conductor is attached to the first electrically releasing adhesive layer of the adhesive body. Next, an insulator having two through holes is attached to the second electrically releasing adhesive layer of the adhesive body. Then, a second conductor and a third conductor having the exact same size as the two through holes are inserted into the through-hole portions of the insulator and attached to the second electrically releasing adhesive layer of the adhesive body, thereby forming composite 5. In composite 5, the two conductors are in contact with the adhesive body and the insulator, but are not in contact with each other. Figure 6C shows an embodiment in which electrode terminals are connected to the two conductors of composite 5. By forming a circuit as shown in Figure 6C and applying a voltage, electrical peeling occurs at the contact surface between the adhesive body and the third conductor, and the third conductor can be separated from composite 5 (see Figure 6D).

[0045] Another example of the separation method of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C. The composite (composite 6) in FIG. 7A is formed as follows. First, a conductive auxiliary material is attached to an insulator. When a conductive auxiliary material is attached to an insulator, electricity can flow through the conductive auxiliary material. Therefore, the structure in which the conductive auxiliary material is attached to the insulator can be considered a first conductor. Next, the first conductor (the structure in which the conductive auxiliary material is attached to the insulator) is attached to the first electrically releasing adhesive layer of the adhesive body. Then, the second conductor, the third conductor, and the insulator are attached to the second electrically releasing adhesive layer of the adhesive body. At this time, the second conductor and the third conductor are attached to the adhesive body so that the second conductor and the third conductor are not in direct contact with each other and the insulator is in contact with the second conductor and the third conductor, thereby forming composite 6. FIG. 7B shows an embodiment in which electrode terminals are connected to the second conductor and the third conductor of composite 6. By forming a circuit as shown in FIG. 7B and applying a voltage, electrical peeling occurs at the contact surface between the adhesive body and the third conductor, and the third conductor can be separated from the composite 6 (see FIG. 7C). In this way, even if an insulator is used, it can be treated as a conductor by using a conductive auxiliary material to form a composite, and the conductor can be separated from the composite. The conductive auxiliary material can be adhered to the insulator with any adhesive.

[0046] Another example of the separation method of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C. The composite (composite 7) in FIG. 8A is formed as follows: First, a first conductor is attached to the first electrically releasable adhesive layer of the adhesive body. Next, two conductive auxiliary materials are attached to the second electrically releasable adhesive layer of the adhesive body. Then, an insulator is attached to each of the two conductive auxiliary materials to form composite 7. In composite 7, by combining the insulator with a conductive auxiliary material, these can be considered as the second conductor and the third conductor, respectively. FIG. 8B shows an embodiment in which electrode terminals are connected to each of the two conductive auxiliary materials of composite 7. As shown in FIG. 8B, by connecting a DC power source to the two conductive auxiliary materials and applying a voltage, electrical peeling occurs at the contact surface between the adhesive body and the third conductor (the contact surface between the conductive auxiliary material and the adhesive), and the third conductor can be separated from composite 7 (see FIG. 8C). In this way, even if an insulator is used, the use of a conductive auxiliary material allows it to be considered as a conductor to form a composite, and the insulator can be separated from the composite. The insulator can be attached to the conductive auxiliary material with any adhesive.

[0047] Another example of the separation method of the present invention is shown in Figures 9A to 9C. The composite (composite 8) in Figure 9A is formed as follows. First, a conductive auxiliary material is attached to an insulator. When a conductive auxiliary material is attached to an insulator, electricity can flow through the conductive auxiliary material, and the shape in which the conductive auxiliary material is attached to the insulator can be considered a first conductor. Next, the above-mentioned first conductor (the shape in which the conductive auxiliary material is attached to the insulator) is attached to the first electrically releasing adhesive layer of the adhesive body. Next, two conductive auxiliary materials are attached to the second electrically releasing adhesive layer of the adhesive body. Then, an insulator is attached to each of the two conductive auxiliary materials to form composite 8. In composite 8, by combining the insulator with a conductive auxiliary material, these can be considered as a second conductor and a third conductor, respectively. Figure 9B shows an embodiment in which electrode terminals are connected to each of the two conductive auxiliary materials of composite 8. As shown in Figure 9B, by connecting a DC power supply to the two conductive auxiliary materials and applying a voltage, electrical peeling can be caused at the contact surface between the adhesive body and the third conductor (the contact surface between the conductive auxiliary material and the adhesive body), thereby separating the third conductor from the composite 8 (see Figure 9C).

[0048] As shown in the examples above, in the composite of the present invention, there is no need to connect an electrode to the first conductor, and the third conductor can be separated from the composite without applying a voltage directly to the first conductor.

[0049] The voltage to be applied to the composite is not particularly limited as long as it can cause electro-detachment in the composite. However, taking into consideration the size of the voltage application device, the effect on conductors, and the risk to the human body due to accidents during work, a low voltage is preferable. The upper limit of the applied voltage can be selected from, for example, 690V, 650V, 600V, 550V, 500V, 480V, 450V, 415V, 400V, 380V, 350V, 347V, 300V, 250V, 240V, 230V, 220V, 210V, 208V, 200V, 180V, 160V, 150V, 130V, 125V, 120V, 115V, 110V, 105V, 100V, 90V, 80V, 70V, 60V, 50V, 40V, and 30V. The lower limit of the voltage can be selected from, for example, 0.5 V, 1 V, 2 V, 3 V, 4 V, 5 V, 6 V, 7 V, 8 V, 9 V, and 10 V. The applied voltage is preferably 1 V or more and 100 V or less, more preferably 1 V or more and 50 V or less, and even more preferably 5 V or more and 30 V or less.

[0050] The voltage application time is not particularly limited as long as it can cause electrical peeling in the composite, but is preferably from 1 second to 600 seconds, more preferably from 1 second to 300 seconds, more preferably from 1 second to 180 seconds, and even more preferably from 1 second to 90 seconds.

[0051] The temperature during peeling is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to perform the peeling at room temperature.

[0052] The first conductor refers to a conductor attached to the first electrically releasable adhesive layer of the adhesive body, providing a location for the second, third, and fourth conductors to be attached via the adhesive. The second, third, and fourth conductors refer to conductors attached to the second electrically releasable adhesive layer of the adhesive body. The first, second, third, and fourth conductors may be made of the same or different materials. In addition to the second, third, and fourth conductors, other conductors may also be attached to the second electrically releasable adhesive layer. Such conductors are referred to as the fifth, sixth, etc. The number of conductors attached to the second electrically releasable adhesive layer is not particularly limited. For example, the number of conductors attached to the second electrically releasable adhesive layer may be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. These fifth and sixth conductors can be treated in the same way as the second, third, and fourth conductors. When electrodes are attached to the composite to form a circuit, the conductor attached to the positive electrode of the conductors attached to the second electrically peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive body becomes the second conductor. It is preferable not to apply a voltage directly to the first conductor.

[0053] Examples of the first conductor include metal plates, metal products, and metal workbenches made of metals such as iron, aluminum, copper, silver, and gold, or alloys of these metals. Of these, the first conductor is preferably a material with a resistance value of 1000 Ω / sq or less. Examples of the second, third, and fourth conductors include metal plates, metal products, foils (thickness less than 100 μm), and plates (thickness 100 μm or more) made of metals such as iron, aluminum, copper, silver, and gold, or alloys of these metals; meshes or fabrics containing fibers mixed with or coated with these metals or alloys; resin sheets containing these metals or alloys; and resin plates with layers containing these metals, alloys, or conductive metal oxides. Examples of the metal products include metal cases enclosing batteries, metal vehicle parts, electronic components such as circuit boards, and the like.

[0054] The conductive auxiliary material is not particularly limited as long as it is conductive, and examples thereof include metals such as aluminum, copper, silver, and gold, alloys of these metals, or films on which conductive metal oxides (such as indium tin oxide: ITO) are vapor-deposited; cloth containing fibers mixed with or coated with these metals or alloys; resin sheets containing these metals or alloys; and resin plates having a layer containing these metals, alloys, or conductive metal oxides.

[0055] The composite may be provided with an insulator. Electricity does not flow through the insulator even when the insulator is in contact with a conductor. Therefore, even materials or devices through which electricity should not flow can be attached to the composite and the electro-peeling operation can be performed. Examples of insulators include wooden plywood, plastic products, and non-metallic workbenches.

[0056] In the composite, the second conductor, the third conductor, and the fourth conductor are insulated from each other by the above-mentioned insulators or by air.

[0057] An insulator cannot be used as a conductor because it cannot conduct electricity as it is. However, by attaching a conductive auxiliary material, the insulator can be used as a conductor. In this embodiment, the insulator to which the conductive auxiliary material is attached is considered to be the first conductor, the second conductor, the third conductor, and / or the fourth conductor. When an insulator is used as the second conductor, the third conductor, or the fourth conductor, the operation of connecting the electrode terminal to the second conductor, the third conductor, or the fourth conductor is the operation of connecting to the conductive auxiliary material attached to the second conductor, the third conductor, or the fourth conductor. When attaching the conductive auxiliary material, any adhesive, such as a commercially available adhesive, can be used.

[0058] By connecting electrodes to at least two of the conductors attached to the second electro-releasable adhesive layer of the composite and applying a voltage between the two electrodes, the two conductors are electrically connected via the adhesive and the first conductor. This causes electrical peeling, allowing the conductor on the negative side of the conductors attached to the second electro-releasable adhesive layer to be separated from the composite. The peeling state after electrical current application can be appropriately adjusted by how the electrode terminals are connected to the conductors. For example, if the composite has two conductors attached to the second electro-releasable adhesive layer, the conductor that separates can be selected by swapping the positive and negative electrodes. If the composite has three conductors attached to the second electro-releasable adhesive layer, the wiring to the power source and the number of conductors on the negative side can be adjusted to select which conductor separates, and whether one or two of the three conductors separate. The same applies when there are four or more conductors attached to the second electro-releasable adhesive layer.

[0059] The shapes of the conductor, insulator, conductive auxiliary material, and adhesive used in the composite are not particularly limited as long as they can form the composite and can be made electrically conductive by connecting electrodes.

[0060] (electrically peelable adhesive) The adhesive body of this embodiment is a planar object comprising a substrate, a first electrically releasing adhesive layer on a first surface of the substrate, and a second electrically releasing adhesive layer on a second surface of the substrate. The first electrically releasing adhesive layer and the second electrically releasing adhesive layer each have adhesive properties in part or in whole. The adhesive body of the present invention may take the form of, for example, a double-sided sheet or a double-sided tape. It is preferable that the adhesive body has an adhesive strength of 5 N / 25 mm or more before application of a voltage.

[0061] The substrate refers to a planar object on which an electro-releasable adhesive can be applied to form an adhesive layer, or which can form an adhesive layer together with an electro-releasable adhesive.

[0062] Examples of substrates include foils or plates made of metals such as aluminum, copper, silver, and gold, or alloys of these metals, as well as fibers such as plant fibers, inorganic and chemical fibers, and porous films.

Substrates made of inorganic and chemical fibers include, for example, nonwoven fabrics and woven fabrics such as polyester (particularly, nonwoven fabrics made of polyethylene terephthalate), carbon fibers, and glass fibers. Examples of porous films include, for example, polyimide and polyester films. The electrically releasing adhesive can penetrate the gaps between fibers and the pores of porous films, allowing the adhesive layer to be ionically conductive while forming a thin adhesive sheet. The substrate is preferably made of fibers made of an insulator. Examples of fibers made of an insulator include, for example, plant fibers and polyester fibers.

By having such a basis weight and thickness, it is possible to make a thin adhesive body without affecting the electrical peeling properties.

The lower limit of the thickness of the adhesive body is, for example, 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 μm.

[0066] The thickness of the adhesive body or the substrate can be measured using a known thickness measuring device. An example of a thickness measuring device is a Peacock precision measuring instrument. The thickness here refers to the average value measured using the thickness measuring device at at least five randomly selected locations on the object to be measured. The first and second electrically releasing adhesive layers are formed by forming an electrically releasing adhesive layer on each surface of the substrate. The adhesive layer may consist solely of an electrically releasing adhesive that has permeated into the substrate. In this case, the first and second electrically releasing adhesive layers refer to the adhesive portions on the surface of the substrate.

The ionic conductivity can be measured, for example, by the AC impedance method as follows.

[0085] At room temperature, a bipolar cell is used to place a sample (electrolyte, etc.) on a stainless steel plate, and then another stainless steel plate is placed on top of the sample, sandwiching it between the plates. A measurement sample is then obtained by controlling the shape of a disk of a fixed area and thickness using a spacer. A voltage is applied to the sample, and the Cole-Cole plot obtained when the frequency that defines the amplitude is changed is curve-fitted using an equivalent circuit to determine the bulk resistance (Ω). The ionic conductivity of the sample, δ, can be calculated by substituting the sample area, A, sample thickness, L, and bulk resistance, Rb, into the following equation:

Ionic liquids have properties such as non-flammability, non-volatility, and chemical stability. When a voltage is applied to an ionic liquid, anions migrate to the positive electrode side and cations migrate to the negative electrode side. It is believed that the migration of anions and cations to the vicinity of the electrode or the occurrence of an oxidation-reduction reaction of the anions or cations at the interface between the electrode and the electro-releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer weakens the adhesive strength of the electro-releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, resulting in improved releasability.

In this composite, the electrically releasing adhesive layer is molded into a planar shape and has two surfaces. These two surfaces are referred to as the first adhesive surface and the second adhesive surface, respectively. Figure 10A shows an example of an electrically releasing adhesive layer. The composition of this electrically releasing adhesive layer is as described above.

[0124] FIG. 10B shows an example of a composite (composite 9) of an electrically peelable adhesive layer and a first to third conductors. In composite 9, the first conductor is attached to the first adhesive surface, and the second and third conductors are attached to the second adhesive surface. In this composite, the second and third conductors are insulated by air. FIG. 10C shows an example in which electrode terminals are connected to the second and third conductors. By forming a circuit as shown in FIG. 10C and applying a voltage, electrical peeling occurs at the contact surface between the adhesive body and the third conductor, and the third conductor can be separated from composite 9 (see FIG. 10D). Thus, similar to the above-described electrically peelable adhesive body, even when a composite is formed using an electrically peelable adhesive layer, electrical peeling can be achieved without connecting an electrode to the first conductor. The attached conductors can then be separated by electrical peeling. The conductors, power source, applied voltage, etc. used are as described above. While the above example was performed using a configuration similar to composite 1, configurations similar to composites 2 to 8 may also be used.

[0125] (Separation method) This embodiment also provides a method for separating the conductors from the electro-releasable adhesive layers in a composite comprising an electro-releasable adhesive, a first conductor adhered to the first electro-releasable adhesive layer of the electro-releasable adhesive, a second conductor adhered to the second electro-releasable adhesive layer of the electro-releasable adhesive, and a third conductor adhered to the second electro-releasable adhesive layer and insulated from the second conductor, the method comprising the step of applying a voltage between the second conductor and the third conductor (hereinafter also referred to simply as the separation method). The electro-releasable adhesive, the first conductor, the second conductor, the third conductor, and the application of the voltage are as described above.

[0126] The separation method of this embodiment may include a step of attaching electrode terminals to the composite. The electrodes are connected to at least two of the conductors attached to the second electrically releasing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the composite. In this case, if the conductors are insulators to which the above-mentioned conductive auxiliary material is attached, the electrodes are connected to the conductive auxiliary material.

[0127] The separation method of the present invention may further include a step of forming a composite. The composite may be formed, for example, by adhering a first conductor to the first electrically releasing adhesive layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive body, and adhering a second conductor and a third conductor to the second electrically releasing adhesive layer so that the second conductor and the third conductor are insulated from each other. An insulator may be adhered to the first electrically releasing adhesive layer or the second electrically releasing adhesive layer. When it is desired to use an insulator as the first conductor, the second conductor, and the third conductor, a conductive auxiliary material is adhered to the insulator, and the surface to which the conductive auxiliary material is adhered is adhered to the pressure-sensitive adhesive body so that the surface to which the conductive auxiliary material is adhered is in contact with the pressure-sensitive adhesive body.

[0128] This embodiment also provides a method for separating a conductor from an electro-releasable adhesive layer in a composite comprising an electro-releasable adhesive layer, a first conductor adhered to a first adhesive surface of the electro-releasable adhesive layer, a second conductor adhered to a second adhesive surface of the electro-releasable adhesive layer, and a third conductor adhered to the second adhesive surface and insulated from the second conductor, the method comprising applying a voltage between the second conductor and the third conductor. The electro-releasable adhesive layer, the first adhesive surface, the second adhesive surface, the first conductor, the second conductor, the third conductor, and the application of the voltage are as described above. [Example]

[0129] The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples at all.

[0130] [Electrical peeling test using electrically peelable adhesive] Two types of electro-releasable adhesives were prepared, and composites were formed by combining them with the first, second, and third conductors, and an electro-releasable test was performed. The electro-releasable adhesive used in the composites was prepared as follows.

[0131] (Electrically releasable adhesive A) 1. Preparation of acrylic polymer A monomer mixture consisting of 91 parts by weight of n-butyl acrylate (Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation), 8 parts by weight of acrylic acid (Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation), and 1 part by weight of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd.) and 186 parts by weight of polymerization solvent (ethyl acetate:toluene (weight ratio) = 9:1)) was placed in a glass flask and purged with nitrogen gas. After that, 0.2 parts by weight of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN, Junsei Chemical Co., Ltd.) was added as a polymerization initiator, and the temperature was raised to 85°C and polymerization reaction was carried out for 5 hours to obtain an acrylic adhesive. The resulting acrylic adhesive contained 35% by weight of acrylic polymer (weight average molecular weight approximately 800,000, Tg -46°C) and had a viscosity of 7,000 mPa·s.

[0132] 2. Preparation of electro-releasable adhesive To 100 parts by weight of the above acrylic adhesive (including 35 parts by weight of acrylic polymer), 2 parts by weight of Takenate (registered trademark) D-101E (Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.) as an isocyanate crosslinking agent, 7 parts by weight of Elexcel (registered trademark) AS-110 (EMI-FSI: Dai-ichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd.) as an ionic liquid, and 7 parts by weight of dimethyl tetraglycol (Nippon Nyukazai Co., Ltd.: molecular weight approximately 220) as a migration promoter were added, and the mixture was stirred with a dissolver at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then allowed to stand to degas, to obtain electro-releasable adhesive A (adhesive A).

[0133] (Electro-releasable adhesive A) Adhesive A was applied to a silicone-treated polyethylene terephthalate film (hereinafter also referred to as a release film) so that the thickness after drying would be 35 μm, and the film was dried at 100°C for 5 minutes. A polyester nonwoven fabric [Milife (registered trademark) TY0503FE (ENEOS Techno Materials Corporation): basis weight 8.0 g / m] was attached to the adhesive-coated surface of the dried film. 2 , 40 μm thick] was attached to the release film. Similarly, adhesive A was applied to a release film so that the thickness after drying would be 35 μm, a dried film was produced, and this was attached to the side of the nonwoven fabric where the film was not attached. This was then left to stand at 40°C for 3 days to produce an electrically peelable adhesive body A (adhesive body A). The thickness of the adhesive body A excluding the film was 80 μm.

[0134] (Electrically peelable adhesive B) 1. Preparation of acrylic polymer The polymer used was the acrylic polymer prepared in the above-mentioned preparation of acrylic polymer.

[0135] 2. Preparation of electro-releasable adhesive To 100 parts by weight of the above acrylic adhesive (including 35 parts by weight of acrylic polymer), 2 parts by weight of Takenate (registered trademark) D-101E as an isocyanate crosslinking agent and 14 parts by weight of Elexcel (registered trademark) AS-110 (EMI-FSI: Dai-ichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd.) as an ionic liquid were added, and the mixture was stirred with a dissolver at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then left to stand to degas, to obtain electro-releasable adhesive B (adhesive B).

[0136] (Electro-releasable adhesive B) An electrically peelable adhesive body B (adhesive body B) was produced in the same manner as the electrically peelable adhesive body A, except that adhesive B was used instead of adhesive A. The thickness of adhesive body B excluding the film was 80 μm.

[0137] Example 1: Complex formation 1 The above-mentioned adhesive body A or B was cut into a size of 100 mm x 100 mm. The polyethylene terephthalate film attached to the cut-out adhesive body A or B was peeled off, and the exposed adhesive surface (first electrically releasable adhesive layer) was attached to a stainless steel plate (first conductor). The remaining polyethylene terephthalate film of adhesive body A or B attached to the stainless steel plate was peeled off, and two pieces of aluminum foil (second and third conductors) measuring 30 mm x 30 mm were attached to the exposed adhesive surface (second electrically releasable adhesive layer) so that they did not directly touch each other, thereby forming composite 1. A cross-sectional view of composite 1 is shown in Figure 2A.

[0138] (Voltage application) Electrodes and a DC power supply were attached to each of the two aluminum foils of composite 1 (Figure 2B). A transformer was used to adjust the voltage, and a voltage of 20 V was applied for 30 seconds (Figure 2C). As a result, one of the aluminum foils could be easily peeled off from the composite (Figure 2D). This result was obtained whether adhesive A or B was used in the composite. This demonstrates that in a composite such as composite 1, which combines a first conductor adhered to the first electroreleasable adhesive layer of an electroreleasable adhesive and second and third conductors adhered to the second electroreleasable adhesive layer, connecting electrodes to the two conductors and applying a voltage can induce electroreleasation, allowing the third conductor to be easily peeled off from the composite.

[0139] Example 2: Complex formation 2 Composite 2 was formed in the same manner as in Example 1, except that a 30 mm × 30 mm polyethylene terephthalate film (insulator) was attached between the second conductor and the third conductor so as to be in contact with both of the two aluminum foils. As with composite 1, two types of composite 2 were produced using the above-mentioned adhesive bodies A and B, respectively. A cross-sectional view of composite 2 is shown in Figure 3A.

[0140] For composite 2, electrodes and a DC power supply were attached to each of the two aluminum foils in the same manner as for composite 1 (Fig. 3B), and a voltage was applied in the same manner as in Example 1. As a result, one of the aluminum foils (the third conductor) could be easily peeled off from the composite (Fig. 3C).

[0141] Example 3: Complex formation 3 The polyethylene terephthalate film attached to the adhesive body A or B cut out in the same manner as in Example 1 was peeled off. The exposed adhesive surface (first electrically releasable adhesive layer) was attached to a stainless steel plate (first conductor). The remaining polyethylene terephthalate film from the adhesive sheet A or B attached to the stainless steel plate was peeled off, and three 20 mm x 20 mm pieces of aluminum foil were attached to the exposed adhesive surface (second electrically releasable adhesive layer). A 20 mm x 20 mm polyethylene terephthalate film (insulator) was attached between each of the three conductors (second, third, and fourth conductors, respectively) so as to be in contact with both aluminum foils, forming a composite 3. A schematic diagram of composite 3 is shown in FIG. 4A.

[0142] Electrodes and a DC power supply were connected to each of the three aluminum foils in composite 3 (Figure 4B). A voltage of 20 V was applied for 30 seconds. As a result, two of the three aluminum foils (the third and fourth conductors) were easily peeled off from the composite (Figure 4C). This result was achieved whether adhesive A or B was used in the composite. This demonstrates that by attaching electrodes to three or more conductors, as in composite 3, electropeeling can be achieved in multiple parts of the electropeeling adhesive, making it possible to peel off multiple conductors with a single current.

[0143] Example 4: Complex formation 4 Two adhesive bodies, A and B, were prepared. The polyethylene terephthalate films attached to these adhesive bodies were peeled off. The exposed adhesive surfaces (first electro-releasable adhesive layer) were each attached to a stainless steel plate (first conductor). At this point, two adhesive bodies were adhered to the stainless steel plate. The polyethylene terephthalate film on the side of adhesive body A or B that had not yet been peeled off was peeled off, and two 30 mm x 30 mm pieces of aluminum foil (second conductor and third conductor) were attached to the exposed adhesive surface (second electro-releasable adhesive layer), each attached to a separate adhesive sheet, to form composite 4. A schematic diagram of composite 4 is shown in Figure 5A.

[0144] For composite 4, similarly to composite 1, electrodes and a DC power supply were connected to each of the two aluminum foils (FIG. 5B). A voltage was applied to this as in Example 1. As a result, one of the aluminum foils could be easily peeled off from the composite (FIG. 5C). This demonstrated that even if the two conductors were not in contact with each other via an adhesive, electricity could be passed between them by applying a voltage via the first conductor, and that the conductors could be peeled off by causing electrical peeling.
