Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a two-liquid type urethane-based resin adhesive is used to bond polymer sheets, then the adhesive can provide basic bonding functionality, but the adhesive strength is insufficient and does not meet high durability requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strengthVSAvoiddurability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the chemical parameters of the adhesive system by introducing a polyisocyanate compound that reacts with the urethane urea resin to form a crosslinked structure. This chemical transformation converts a linear polymer system into a networked crosslinked system, fundamentally altering the adhesive's mechanical properties and achieving both high strength and durability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite adhesive system by combining the urethane urea resin with polyisocyanate compounds. The resulting crosslinked structure integrates the bonding capabilities of the urethane urea resin with the reactive crosslinking properties of polyisocyanates, producing a composite material with superior adhesive strength and durability compared to either component alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Strength

If adhesive composition is used to bond alicyclic polyamide resin sheets with polarizing sheets containing dichroic dyes, then basic adhesion is achieved, but the adhesive strength is significantly reduced and bonding is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strength between polyamide and polarizing sheetsVSAvoidcompatibility with polarizing sheets containing dichroic dyes
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The invention modifies the adhesive composition by adding polyisocyanate compounds that react with the urethane urea resin to form a crosslinked structure. This chemical parameter change enhances the adhesive's ability to bond to polarizing sheets containing dichroic dyes, overcoming the insufficient adhesion experienced with conventional adhesive compositions.
