COVID-19: Mitsui Chemicals, wearable sensor material development: Sheets that stick at body temperature

COVID-19:

Mitsui Chemicals:

On June 23, announced that we have developed an adhesive sheet (pictured) that sticks to each other due to human body temperature.

Adhesive sheet: (photo):

Simply wrap it around your finger or wrist to fit your body easily.

Alternative to hook-and-loop fasteners
Clothing such as innerwear and shoes,
Clothing accessories such as watches and toys,

New Corona measures:

It is intended for use as a wearable sensor.

Mitsui Chemicals anticipates that the demand for body-worn devices will increase after the new coronavirus infection.

Structure of adhesive sheet:

It exhibits self-adhesiveness depending on the body temperature of the person.

The temperature at which the sheet resin softens (glass transition temperature) is between room temperature and body temperature.”
When it becomes soft at body temperature, it becomes more sticky and the sheets stick together.”

It is hygienic and can be repeatedly applied and removed.
Eliminates problems such as dust sticking to the adhesive surface compared to surface fasteners
