Towards Tough Thermoplastic Adhesive Tape by Microstructuring the Tape Using Tailored Defects

This paper presents a strategy towards achieving thermoplastic adhesive tapes with high toughness by microstructuring conventional tapes using tailored defects. Toughened tape was manufactured using two layers of a conventional tape where the bondline between the two adhesive layers was microstructu...
