Abstract

Provided is a laminate comprising a composite first adhesive layer in which a printed portion is embedded within an adhesive portion. The laminate can solve the bending phenomenon caused by raised parts, have a reduced thickness, allow manufacturing thereof due to a simplified process, and remedy problems arising from faulty lamination.

Claims (26)

1 . A laminate comprising: a first adhesive composite layer formed by embedding a printed portion in an adhesive portion.

2 . The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive composite layer has one surface which is a flat surface exposing only the adhesive portion.

3 . The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive composite layer has one surface exposing both the printed portion and the adhesive portion.

4 . The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein a surface exposing the adhesive portion of the first adhesive composite layer exhibits adhesion due to the presence of one selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, carbonyl, aldehyde, haloformyl, carbonate ester, carboxylate, carboxyl, ester, hydroperoxy, peroxy, ether, hemiketal, acetal, o-ester, o-carbonate ester, carboxylic acid, amide, amine, imine, azide, azo compound, cyanate, nitrate, nitrile, nitro compound, nitroso compound, thiol, sulfonic acid groups, and combinations thereof.

5 . The laminate according to claim 1 , comprising: a substrate having one surface on which the printed portion is formed.

6 . The laminate according to claim 5 , wherein the substrate is a hard coating layer or a window glass.

7 . The laminate according to claim 6 , wherein the hard coating layer comprises one selected from the group consisting of acrylic, silica, urethane, imide compounds, and combinations thereof.

8 . The laminate according to claim 6 , comprising: a release film layer stacked on the other surface of the substrate, on the one surface of the adhesive layer exposing only the adhesive portion, or both.

9 . The laminate according to claim 6 , comprising: a second adhesive layer and a release film layer sequentially stacked on the other surface of the substrate.

10 . The laminate according to claim 8 , wherein the release film layer comprises one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate, a release silicone-coated silicone layer, combinations thereof.

11 . The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the printed portion has a thickness of 5 μm to 75 μm.

12 . The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive composite layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 200 μm.

13 . The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive portion comprises one selected from the group consisting of 2-ethylhexyl acylate (2-EHA), isobornyl acrylate (IBOA), hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), hydroxybutyl acrylate (HBA), hydroxypropyl acryalte (HPA), hexyl methacrylate (HMA), photoinitiators, curing agents, additives, and combinations thereof.

14 . The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the printed portion comprises one selected from the group consisting of black inks, white inks, pink inks, and combinations thereof.

15 . A method for manufacturing a laminate, comprising:

forming a printed portion on a substrate; and

forming a first adhesive composite layer comprising the printed portion and an adhesive portion by coating an adhesive composition such that the printed portion is embedded therein, followed by curing the adhesive composition.

16 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the adhesive composition is coated onto the substrate and the printed portion such that the first adhesive composite layer has a flat upper surface.

17 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the adhesive portion exhibiting adhesion is formed by coating the adhesive composition, followed by curing the adhesive composition for about 0.1 minutes to about 10 minutes through irradiation with light having a wavelength of 180 nm to 400 nm.

18 . The method according to claim 15 , further comprising:

stacking a release film layer on an outermost surface of the laminate such that the first adhesive composite layer and the release film layer are sequentially stacked on the substrate.

19 . The method according to claim 15 , further comprising:

forming a second adhesive layer by coating the adhesive composition onto the other surface of the substrate, on which the printed portion is not formed, followed by curing the adhesive composition; and

stacking a second release film on the other surface of the substrate, on which the printed portion is not formed, via the second adhesive layer.

20 . A method for applying the laminate according to claim 8 , comprising:

peeling off the release film layer of the laminate to expose the first adhesive composite layer or the second adhesive layer, followed by attaching the laminate to a target material.
