Abstract:
1. A method of bonding a first material to a second material, comprising the steps of: (a) applying an adhesive foam to a first material to give an adhesive coated mating surface; (b) applying a second material to said adhesive coated mating surface of said first material; and (c) applying temporarily a casting surface to said adhesive coated mating surface, wherein said second material is a foam prepared from water and a prepolymer mixture selected from the group consisting of branched alkyl-isocyanate-capped poly(ether), unbranched alkyl-isocyanate-capped poly(ether), branched aromatic-isocyanate-capped poly(ether), unbranched aromatic-isocyanate-capped poly(ether), branched alkyl-isocyanate-capped poly(ether)-poly(ester) copolymer, unbranched alkyl-isocyanate-capped poly(ether)-poly(ester) copolymer, branched aromatic-isocyanate-capped poly(ether)-poly(ester) copolymer, and unbranched aromatic-isocyanate-capped poly(ether)-poly(ester) copolymer; and said adhesive foam is a foam prepared from water and a prepolymer mixture selected from the group consisting of branched alkyl-isocyanate-capped poly(ether), unbranched alkyl-isocyanate-capped poly(ether), branched aromatic-isocyanate-capped poly(ether), unbranched aromatic-isocyanate-capped poly(ether), branched alkyl-isocyanate-capped poly(ether)-poly(ester) copolymer, unbranched alkyl-isocyanate-capped poly(ether)-poly(ester) copolymer, branched aromatic-isocyanate-capped poly(ether)-poly(ester) copolymer, and unbranched aromatic-isocyanate-capped poly(ether)-poly(ester) copolymer.
