Solution Overview

Problem

Existing construction boards with large adhesive quantities are difficult to remove and reuse in circular construction due to strong adhesion to the ground surface, making it impractical to dismantle and reposition them after their lifespan.

Innovation Solution

A construction board with a cover layer featuring holes allows for controlled adhesion by distributing adhesive force through these holes, enabling easy release by breaking adhesive connections one at a time, using self-adhesive tape strips with holes for defined adhesion areas and optimized adhesive application.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a large quantity of adhesive is used to secure the construction board firmly to the ground surface, then the adhesion strength is improved, but the ease of removal and reuse deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion strengthVSAvoidease of removal
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The cover layer is segmented into multiple discrete holes distributed across its surface. Adhesive is applied only at these hole locations, creating multiple small adhesion points instead of one large continuous adhesion area. This segmentation allows the total adhesion strength to be sufficient while enabling easy removal by breaking individual adhesive connections one at a time, starting from an edge or corner.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If a cover layer with holes is introduced to enable controlled adhesion and easy removal, then the ease of removal is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of removalVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cover layer is implemented as a thin film or sheet material with holes formed therein. This thin-film approach adds minimal structural complexity while effectively controlling adhesive application areas. The cover layer can be a simple perforated sheet or membrane that allows adhesive to pass through to the cement mortar layer only at designated hole locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The solution provides a construction board that can be securely attached and easily removed from surfaces by applying adhesive only through the holes, allowing for efficient reuse and repositioning without damaging the underlying cement mortar layer.

Implementation Method 1

The adhesive will however adhere only via the holes to the cement layer lying thereunder, whereby a controlled adhesion area is obtained

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectAdhesion: Adhesive

Implementation Method 2

the at least one strip is arranged with the self-adhesive side on the cover layer
