Adhesive sheets are made of thin material and industrial grade adhesive. Natural and man-made adhesives are used for different purposes. There are two types of sheets: those that require activation and self-adhesive sheets. Double-sided adhesive sheets are useful for energy conductivity and in scanning electron microscopes.
Adhesive sheets are made from a combination of a thin material, like paper, and an industrial grade adhesive that sticks the material to something else, like a wall. They are used for a number of different recreational and professional purposes based on the type of material used to make the sticker sheet. The adhesive used in sticker sheets is usually a simple contact chemical that has been produced from natural sources, such as rubber, or through man-made means.
Natural adhesives are made from the starchy material found in animal and plant fluids, such as blood and lymph, respectively. The rubber tree has a very thick sap running through it, making it ideal for adhesive. Neoprene is a man-made adhesive commonly used in sticker sheets. For wallpaper adhesive, the chemical polymers make up the adhesive and take effect when they dry, not when they come into contact with a liquid, such as water. This drying action activates the adhesive and adheres the wallpaper to the surface to which it has been applied.
There are several types of sheets to choose from, including those that require adhesive activation and self-adhesive sheets. An example of a sticker sheet that requires activation of the sticker is wallpaper. Most wallpaper needs to be soaked in water or an adhesive bath to activate the adhesive on the side that will stick to the wall. In most cases, wallpaper is packaged rolled up. Having to activate the adhesive, the wallpaper will not be damaged by placing it with the adhesive side in contact with the non-adhesive side.
Self-adhesive sheets have active adhesive on one or both sides. Single-sided adhesive sheets are useful for printing posters and the like, as graphics or images can be printed on the non-adhesive side. The sticky side can then be attached to many tactile surfaces to view the information printed on the other side. Self-adhesive sheets are also popular for crafting or decorative purposes. They can be used in scrapbooking or home decoration, as well as in commercial printers to print photos and adhesive information.
Double sided adhesive sheets can be used for energy conductivity between two metal machines or to transfer energy from one metal to another. To do this, small strips of metal are attached to both sides of the adhesive sheet and placed between two machines or electrical components. These double-sided adhesive sheets are extremely useful in scanning electron microscopes, as they can direct energy more precisely and eliminate any stray X-rays, which can cause clouding of the image. As a result, the final x-ray image is much clearer.
