A METHOD FOR MAGNETICALLY AND/OR ELECTROSTATICALLY POSITIONING PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE BEADS AND MAGNETICALLY POSITIONABLE PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE BEADS

摘要

The present invention provides pressure-sensitive adhesive beads that comprise a tacky pressure-sensitive adhesive core and a non-tacky shell material that surrounds the core wherein the beads are capable of being positioned via magnetic means. The present invention also provides method(s) of preparing adhesive coated substrates using pressure-sensitive adhesive bead(s) that are magnetically responsive, electrostatically responsive or both by using magnetic forces, electrostatic forces or both.
