Stretchable Adhesive Strip for Residue-Free Removal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing strippable pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes often tear when peeled off at angles greater than 45° relative to the bonding plane, making it impossible to remove them without leaving residue or damage, and they lack sufficient shock resistance, which is a concern for mobile devices where space is limited and mechanical stress is high.
Innovation Solution
A pressure-sensitive adhesive strip with a carrier that has an elongation at break of at least 250% and a PSA layer based on solid acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber with 30-130 phr adhesive resin, allowing for easy removal at various angles without tearing and providing improved shock resistance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If adhesive strips are made thin to reduce space in mobile devices, then space utilization is improved, but susceptibility to tearing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive strip uses a composite structure combining a stretchable carrier (polyurethane or TPE) with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer based on solid acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber. This composite design allows the thin adhesive layer to gain enhanced mechanical properties from the carrier, particularly elongation at break of at least 250%, which prevents tearing during removal while maintaining minimal thickness for space-constrained mobile devices.
2Ease of operation
If adhesive strips are removed at angles greater than 45° to achieve clean removal, then residue-free detachment is improved, but susceptibility to tearing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the mechanical parameters of the adhesive strip by specifying a carrier with elongation at break of at least 250% and an adhesive layer with specific composition (solid acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber with 30-130 phr adhesive resin). These parameter changes enable the adhesive to withstand the higher stresses encountered during removal at angles greater than 45°, allowing clean residue-free detachment without increasing tearing susceptibility.
3Strength
If adhesive strips are made with high adhesive strength to ensure secure bonding, then bonding strength is improved, but shock resistance decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive strip incorporates a flexible stretchable carrier with elongation at break of at least 250% that acts as a shock-absorbing element. This flexible carrier maintains strong adhesive bonding through the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer while providing cushioning against mechanical shocks and impacts, thereby improving shock resistance without sacrificing adhesive strength. This is particularly important for mobile devices that experience frequent handling and potential drops.
