Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If general acrylic resin is used as adhesive material, then good flexibility and stress followability are achieved, but chemical resistance and oil resistance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility and stress followabilityVSAvoidchemical resistance and oil resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the acrylic resin by incorporating specific monomer units (carboxylic acid-containing units and hydroxyl group-containing units) in controlled proportions. This compositional parameter change enables the resin to achieve both flexibility and chemical/oil resistance simultaneously, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and reliability.
