Preparation of a Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced UV/Heat Dual-Curable Adhesive for Liquid Crystal Displays
There is strong demand for narrow-bezel liquid crystal displays (LCDs) in the display industry. Adhesive materials for narrow-bezel LCDs require excellent adhesive properties in order to provide the same level of adhesive strength as conventional sealants, even when applied in small amounts. In this study, we prepared a previously unknown, highly adhesive, carbon nanotube-reinforced (CNT-reinforced) UV/heat dual-curable adhesive for narrow-bezel LCDs. Single-walled and multi-walled CNTs (SWCNTs and MWCNTs) were employed as fillers, resulting in superior adhesive properties; in particular, the inclusion of SWCNTs improved both adhesion and resistance to water permeability compared to a conventional adhesive.
