Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If rubber-based adhesives are used to bond polyolefin substrate and skin material, then adhesive bonding is achieved, but adhesive strength deteriorates at high temperatures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strengthVSAvoidhigh temperature performance
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the adhesive by using acid-modified polyolefin resin with specific melting points (90°C or higher) combined with polyurethane resin in a specific ratio (20-100 parts by mass per 100 parts of acid-modified polyolefin resin). This parameter optimization enables the adhesive to maintain strength at high temperatures while achieving good bonding at room temperature.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite adhesive material combining acid-modified polyolefin resin and polyurethane resin. This composite structure leverages the heat resistance of the acid-modified polyolefin and the bonding capability of the polyurethane to achieve both high-temperature stability and good adhesive strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If water-based adhesives are used without solvents, then environmental and hygiene requirements are met, but adhesive strength is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveorganic solvent contentVSAvoidadhesive strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical state parameters of the adhesive formulation by using water-based dispersion without organic solvents. The acid-modified polyolefin resin and polyurethane resin are dispersed in water to form a binder that achieves sufficient adhesive strength through proper composition rather than solvent-based penetration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If water-based adhesive composition is used for bonding skin material to polyolefin substrate, then environmental benefits are achieved, but adhesive strength deteriorates at high temperatures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveorganic solvent contentVSAvoidadhesive strength at high temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the composition parameters by specifying that the acid-modified polyolefin resin must have a melting point of 90°C or higher and that the polyurethane resin content must be 20-100 parts by mass per 100 parts of acid-modified polyolefin resin. These parameter controls enable the water-based adhesive to maintain adequate strength at high temperatures while eliminating organic solvents.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
