Novel appliqunulls comprising oxyhalopolymer-adhesive composites wherein the adhesive layer of the composite is chemically bonded to reactive sites on at least one side of the oxyhalopolymer layer, possess superior peel strengths, resistance to delamination and protective properties, including protection of surfaces from lightning strike to seamless protective liners for tanks. The appliques are suitable for printing architectural designs thereon. Multilayered specialty appliqunulls can be fabricated from the above fundamental oxyhalopolymer-adhesive composite structure, including layered adhesives for encapsulating tridimensional mechanical and electrical devices, such as RF, or microwave sensitive antennae for transmitting and receiving communications, providing protection from environmental electromagnetic effects (E3), shock and impact resistance, multidimensional deformable structures; housing for temperature control systems, etc. The properties of the appliqunulls can be modified by introducing various additives to the halopolymer and/or adhesive layers to customize electrical, and optical shielding, or reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and the like. |

The present invention is directed to an adhesive composition, which comprises an epoxy resin, a coupling agent, filler, and an effective amount of an amine-curing agent or curative for said epoxy resin. Advantageously, tri-functional and/or tetrafunctional epoxy resins and/or acrylate monomers will be incorporated into the adhesive composition in order to reduce open time and enhance substrate adhesion. Advantageously, a mixture of amines will be used in the curative including aliphatic amines, which have low viscosities and efficiently wet the substrate for enhancing adhesion; polyamines, which can be used to manipulate open time and allow for improved ratio tolerance of the adhesive system; and amine-terminated rubbers (ATBN), which can improve impact resistance and the toughness of the cured adhesive. Preferred coupling agents are silanes. |
