Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are the major source of stickies in paper recycling. It is desirable that the PSA not break down into very small pieces during repulping so that it can be screened out. However, it is not clear in the literature what mechanical properties of PSAs are required to make PSAs screenable. In this study, the screenability of a range of PSAs was evaluated. The hydro...

We report a rare complication caused by a displaced tack after laparoscopic incisional hernia repair. A 41-year-old woman treated 11 months earlier for a suprapubic incisional hernia (Pfannenstiel laparotomy) received a laparoscopic repair with a bilaminar mesh fixed with tacks. Seven months later, she presented miccional irritative symptoms and chronic lower abdominal pain. Leucocyturia and mi...

The influence of rheological and surface properties on adhesive tackiness are studied. In particular, the importance of the elongational properties is emphasized in a model, which considers only the adhesive contribution, while neglecting the importance of cavitation and surface roughness. It is shown that this simple analysis allows one to recover the different types of curves (i.e. different ...

Abstract Thermosetting resins were formulated by mixing solid epoxy components, hardener and accelerator at elevated temperature. These mixtures ground into uncured, resin powders dispensed onto carbon fibres using a powder printer prior to vacuum curing. Using accelerators reduced curing time from 8 h 16 min. Manufactured cross-ply fibre laminates (0°/90°/0°) had comparable mechanical properti...
