METHODS OF MODULATING TACKINESS

摘要

Methods of modulating tackiness of a substrate bearing an adhesive. The method includes modulating the tackiness of a layer of adhesive by subjecting the layer of the adhesive to radiant output from a radiation source. At least a portion of the radiant output has a wavelength of less than 200 nanometers.

1. A method of modulating tackiness of a substrate bearing an adhesive, said method comprising:
providing a substrate comprising a first major surface and a second major surface, wherein a layer of an adhesive is disposed on at least a portion of either or both of the first major surface and the second major surface; and modulating the tackiness of the layer of adhesive without affecting the bulk adhesive properties of the layer of adhesive by subjecting the layer of the adhesive to radiant output from a radiation source, wherein at least a portion of the radiant output has a wavelength of less than 200 nanometers.
