Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If adhesives containing polydimethylsiloxane are used for temporary adhesion, then easy removal after polishing is achieved, but adhesiveness to diverse adherends and encapsulating resins is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of removalVSAvoidadhesiveness to diverse adherends
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite adhesive composition containing polydimethylsiloxane as the base adhesive component and adds a compound with a linear or branched alkyl chain having 5 or more carbon atoms. This composite approach combines the easy removal property of polydimethylsiloxane with the enhanced adhesiveness to diverse materials provided by the alkyl chain compound, resolving the contradiction between ease of removal and adhesiveness to diverse adherends

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the adhesive composition by introducing a compound with specific molecular weight (150-600) and specific alkyl chain length (5 or more carbon atoms). By controlling these molecular parameters, the adhesive achieves both sufficient adhesion to diverse materials including encapsulating resins and easy removability after polishing, thus resolving the contradiction through parameter optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Strength

If strong adhesion is used during polishing, then polishing stress is withstood, but removal after polishing becomes difficult

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent carefully controls the molecular weight of the alkyl chain compound (150-600) and its content (0.1-5% by mass) to achieve optimal adhesion strength during polishing while maintaining easy removability after polishing. The specific parameter ranges balance the competing requirements of strong holding during processing and easy release afterward

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The compound with linear or branched alkyl chain acts as an intermediary component that mediates between the polydimethylsiloxane base adhesive and the diverse adherends. It provides sufficient adhesion strength during polishing while the polydimethylsiloxane base ensures easy removal after polishing, thus resolving the contradiction through intermediary action

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
