A thermally reworkable adhesive includes at least one di-epoxide, at least one diamine that is reactive with the at least one di-epoxide, at least one additive that is miscible, but not reactive, with the at least one di-epoxide and/or the at least one diamine. Reaction of the at least one di-epoxide and the at least one diamine forms a crosslinked polymer network and the at least one additive offsets the stoichiometry of the crosslinked polymer network by 5-50%. The offset crosslinked polymer network forms the thermally reworkable adhesive that once cured, at a temperature in the range of 20-200° C., can be de-bonded from a device to which it is attached at a temperature in the range of 50-200° C.

A technique for identity service management in a computing environment having a plurality of managed endpoints includes a mediator located within the computing environment and remote from an identity management service provider located external to the computing environment to enable management of the plurality of managed endpoints by the identity management service provider. The mediator includes a service manager configured to authenticate the mediator to the managed endpoints and configure the managed endpoints for pulling data from the managed endpoints. The mediator also includes a data exporter configured to export the data by the mediator to the identity management service provider in response to detecting a direct connection between the mediator and the identity management service provider.

Resin compositions made of high-performance polymers blended with molecular glass as rheological modifiers are disclosed. The high-performance polymers include thermoplastics, such as polysulfones, polyimides, poly(ether imides), polyketones, poly(ether ketones), and combinations thereof. The molecular glasses are amorphous, non-oligomeric, and have one or more functional groups that promote miscibility of the molecular glass with the high-performance polymers to produce a resin composition with low melt viscosity. Incorporation of the molecular glasses into the high-performance polymers does not alter the Young's modulus and yield stress values of the high-performance polymers.
