Abstract:
A method for preparing a shaped adhesive article comprising the steps of:a) molding an adhesive mixture in a mold, said mixture including precursor, or1) a first polymer precursor and a second polymer precursor, or2) a first polymer precursor and a thermoplastic polymer,b) polymerizing said first polymer precursor in said mold thereby allowing the polymerized adhesive mixture to be removed from said mold while substantially retaining the shape of said mold, thus producing a shaped adhesive article having one or more surfaces having features complementary to the surface of the mold wherein said features are selected from the group consisting of holes, indentations, and projections,c) removing said shaped adhesive article from said mold, andd) adhering said shaped adhesive article to a substrate.
