Pressure sensitive macromolecular adhesive polymers and compositions capable of integrating fluoropolymeric properties with a catechol-amine functionality to form an adhesive system that allows bonding between metallic substrates and fluoropolymers are disclosed. Also disclosed are core-shell polymeric particles comprised of a core and a shell comprising a thermoplastic polydopamine polymer that may be prepared as a colloidal suspension and used as a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive capable of binding low surface energy materials, such as polyolefins and fluoropolymers, to diverse materials including metals.

Hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition and uses thereof

Methods of making bearings using pressure sensitive macromolecular adhesive polymers and pressure sensitive polymer compositions capable of integrating fluoropolymeric properties with a catecholamine functionality to form an adhesive system that allows bonding between metallic substrates and fluoropolymers are disclosed. Also disclosed are core-shell polymeric particles comprised of a core and a shell comprising a thermoplastic polydopamine polymer that may be prepared as a colloidal suspension and used as a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive capable of binding low surface energy materials, such as polyolefins and fluoropolymers, to diverse materials including metals in making bearings and/or bearing components.

A system and method of constructing a substantially decorative article without the need for fasteners. In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, the decorative article is a woven basket. One or more retainers are provided to retain the material used to construct the outer surface of the decorative article. Each retainer is provided with a channel for receiving one end of the material used to construct the surface of the decorative article. The channels are able to retain the ends of the material used to construct the surface of the decorative article without the need for fasteners. If the material used to construct the surface of the decorative article is sufficiently rigid, the decorative article will be self-supporting. If the material used to construct the surface of the decorative article is not sufficiently self-supporting, supports may be located between the retainers. The channels may be oriented at an angle, or may be provided with a texture, to assist in retaining the material used to construct the surface of the decorative article.

System and method of fastenerless construction of a decorative article

The present invention relates to a decorative article that is adapted to securely receive a decorative material without the use of nails, staples, screws, bolts, or adhesives. In general, the decorative article is comprised of a top side, a bottom side, a channel which separates the top side from the bottom side, and a material. The material is laid on the top side, and an adequate part of the material extends beyond the top side and into channel. The material is then secured to the decorative article simply by tucking the part of the material into the channel. The contact between the part of the material and the channel is sufficient to hold the part of the material in the channel without the use of nails, staples, screws, bolts, or adhesives.

A process for sealing roof seams in a corrugated sloped metal roof comprises applying elongated strips of a flexible hot melt thermoplastic bituminous composite material to the seams and the edges of the roof surface immediately adjacent thereto but not over the whole roof surface. The bituminous composite material has an elevated operating temperature of about 500.degree.-600.degree. F. or greater. The bituminous composite material is heated to at least a point wherein the material becomes soft and semi-molten so as to conform to the surface of the roof and the convolutions of the corrugations and bonds to the roof surface. Prior to applying the bituminous composite material, a compatible metal primer is applied to the roof seams. The bituminous composite material is troweled into shape while it is still hot. An alternative application method comprises applying the material between overlapping roof sheets.
