Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Surface-modified adhesives may be prepared by contacting an adhesive layer to an at least partially discontinuous layer on a releasing substrate and removing the adhesive layer such that at least a portion of the at least partially discontinuous layer adheres to the adhesive surface. The modified adhesive surface remains an adhesive surface. The modified adhesive layer can be used to prepare adhesive articles, including articles containing multiple surface-modified adhesive layers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of modifying the surface of an adhesive comprising: providing an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer consists of a pressure sensitive adhesive or a heat activated adhesive; providing a releasing substrate with an at least partially discontinuous layer on the surface of the substrate; contacting the adhesive layer to the at least partially discontinuous layer on the surface of the substrate; and removing the adhesive layer from the surface of the substrate, such that the at least partially discontinuous layer at least partially adheres to the surface of the adhesive layer upon removal to form a modified adhesive layer surface, and wherein the modified adhesive layer surface remains a pressure sensitive or heat activated adhesive surface such that the adhesive surface is capable of bonding to a substrate, and wherein the at least partially discontinuous layer is a metal grid or mesh with a thickness of no greater than 500 nanometers. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer consists of an optically clear adhesive. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer consists of a pressure sensitive adhesive. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the releasing substrate comprises a release liner.
