Solution Overview

Problem

The existing electrical debonding type adhesive sheets face issues with corrosion of the conductive layer at the electrode contact portion, which prevents the application of voltage and subsequent debonding, leading to ineffective electrical debonding.

Innovation Solution

The adhesive sheet features a substrate with a conductive layer covered by a first and second adhesive layer, where the conductive layer is not exposed on the electrode contact portion, preventing corrosion and allowing for effective electrical debonding by applying voltage through a penetrating electrode.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Ease of operation

If the conductive layer is exposed at the electrode contact portion to allow electrode contact, then electrical debonding can be performed, but the conductive layer corrodes when contacting outside air

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A resin layer is introduced as an intermediary substance between the conductive layer and the outside air. This resin layer covers the conductive layer to prevent corrosion while still allowing the electrode to contact and apply voltage to the conductive layer through the resin, thus resolving the contradiction between preventing corrosion and enabling electrical contact

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

A thin resin coating is applied over the conductive layer at the electrode contact portion. This thin film provides corrosion protection while maintaining electrical conductivity, allowing the electrode to function properly without exposing the conductive layer to corrosive environmental factors

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 1:

The resin layer serves as a mediator that simultaneously provides corrosion protection and maintains electrical contact. It allows the electrode to penetrate through or contact the covered conductive layer, ensuring both protection and operational functionality
