Mind reading tape! Man, that is cool! |
|
| |
I understand the heating . . . not the compression part, though. |
|

erm... that would be Pressure Sensitive Tape. You press it hard and it sticks hard. See link. |

Where I work (in a library) we use a special type of sticky backed plastic <obligatory Blue Peter flashback> </obligatory Blue Peter flashback> to cover books which is only slightly adhesive at first to enable repositioning, but which bonds permanently over time (it takes about 1/2 an hour to stick fast). Perhaps this could be produced in thin strips. |

The basis for heat - and pressure sensitive adhesives which may be incorporated into tapes is that of micro-encapsulation. Very small droplets of one component is encapsulated and dispersed within a matrix of the other component. This is the basis of the adhesives of the pressure sensitive type. |

A "glue stick" which looks like a lipstick and is applied the same way (to paper you wish to stick, not the lips) is a microencapsulated product. |

It is an old technique, old enough to have textbooks written on the subject, and the patents have probably expired. |

Congratulations, [Cymor], you've invented something superfluous! |
