Films comprising a resin matrix, an entanglement polymer, and a latent curative, wherein the resin has a functionality of at least 2.0 and a viscosity of at least 0.1 Pascal-seconds, and the film is dimensionally stable at 25&#xb0; C. The films are particularly useful for the bonding of elastomers to rigid substrates, such as rubber to metal, and contain no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and are shelf stable for extended periods of time.

Adhesive for rubber bonding

A protective system is provided including a material comprising a first and second surface opposite one another and a thickness, and where the first surface has a low-electrical resistance and the second surface has a high-electrical resistance that is higher than the electrical resistance of the low-electrical resistance surface, and the material conducts charge from the first surface to the second surface through the thickness. This can be provided in a bilayer structure where a first protective layer having a low-resistivity is disposed upon a second protective layer having a high-resistivity. This protective system is particularly useful for dissipating electrical charge, for example as a lightning strike protection system for composite aircraft.
