Patent ID: 7163720

Claim:
A method for regulating the release force of a silicone/adhesive interface in a silicone/adhesive complex, the method comprising applying at least one silicone coating to a first substrate and applying an adhesive coating to a second substrate, wherein said silicone coating is derived from the thermal polymerization and/or thermal crosslinking of: either monomers, oligomers and/or polymers carrying at least one reactive Si—H structural unit and monomers, oligomers and/or polymers carrying at least one reactive unsaturated aliphatic group; or monomers, oligomers and/or polymers carrying at least one reactive Si—H structural unit and monomers, oligomers and/or polymers carrying at least one reactive Si—OH unit; or monomers, oligomers and/or polymers carrying at least one reactive Si—H structural unit and monomers, oligomers and/or polymers carrying at least one reactive epoxy, oxetane and/or dioxolane; wherein said silicone coating comprises an additive selected from the group consisting of an organic acrylic, an acrylic silicone and a silicone having alkenyl ether functional groups, and wherein the activity of said additive is initiated and adjustable photochemically.
