Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives exhibit inadequate adhesive strength to silicone rubbers and require significant peeling force when removing the release film, failing to meet the demands for bonding heavier masses and withstanding greater impacts.

Innovation Solution

An addition reaction-curable silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising a specific blend of diorganopolysiloxanes, organopolysiloxanes, organohydrogenpolysiloxanes, and a platinum group metal-based catalyst, which forms a cured product layer with excellent adhesion to silicone rubbers and minimal peeling force from a release film.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If conventional silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions are used, then the adhesive exhibits good heat resistance and chemical resistance, but the adhesive strength to silicone rubbers is inadequate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strength to silicone rubbersVSAvoidadhesion reliability under severe conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical composition parameters of the silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive by incorporating specific organosilicon compounds with B-O-Si bonds and controlling the ratio of alkenyl-containing to alkenyl-free diorganopolysiloxanes. This parameter change enables the adhesive to achieve superior bonding strength to silicone rubbers while maintaining its resistance properties under severe conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite adhesive system by combining multiple components: organosilicon compounds with B-O-Si bonds, diorganopolysiloxanes with and without alkenyl groups, and other silicone polymers. This composite approach allows the adhesive to simultaneously achieve strong bonding to silicone rubbers and maintain stability under extreme temperature and chemical conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of operation

If conventional silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions are used, then the adhesive provides basic bonding capability, but the peeling force required to remove the release film is excessive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of release film removalVSAvoidadhesive strength to adherends
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different functional characteristics to different aspects of the adhesive system. The specific organosilicon compounds with B-O-Si bonds provide strong local adhesion to silicone rubber adherends, while the overall composition formulation ensures that the release film can be easily removed. This local quality differentiation allows the adhesive to be strong where needed (bonding interface) but easy to remove (release film interface).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
