Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022140407A1] An encapsulated adhesive for inserting into a cavity having a first volume and a method of making the encapsulated adhesive are presented. The encapsulated adhesive includes an adhesive material of a second volume, and a non-adhesive encapsulant that substantially surrounds the adhesive material. The encapsulant is strong enough to withstand handling and storage, but breaks in response to pressure, exposing the adhesive material. A method of bonding two pieces by forming a first cavity in a first piece, inserting the encapsulated adhesive into the first cavity, and inserting a member into the first cavity to breach the encapsulant is also presented.
