TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - CERAMICS AND GLASS - Preferred Composite: The adhesive force is provided by an adhesive agent, or is increased by an adhesion-enhancing medium. The adhesive agent or the adhesion-enhancing medium is in-between CS and TS. (I) comprises a sealing and a fixing for TS. (I) is stable at -75 to 400 (preferably -40 to 250, especially 0-100) degreesC. TS is bound flat to CS and at the edge by the sealing or fixing. The sealing and the fixing support the adhesion forces between TS and CS, and allow TS to be flat and releasably attached to CS.Preferred Thin Substrate: TS is a pure substrate without any surface coating, or it may be coated on the under side. The coating is an insulating coating. The coating may also be a weakly conducting layer, especially a conducting polymer. TS comprises one of the following: (i) thin glass; (ii) polymer coated thin glass; (iii) polymer-thin glass composite; (iv) synthetic film or foil; (v) synthetic film-thin glass-composite; (vi) thin ceramic substrate; (vii) metal foil; (viii) thin substrate based on mineral oxides or oxide mixture; (ix) thin substrates derived from composite materials from thin substrates as in (i)-(viii).Preferred Carrier Substrate: The thickness of CS is more than 0.3 (especially 0.3-0.5) mm. CS comprises one or more of the following substrates: (1) glass substrate or glass ceramic substrate fully or partially coated with a material for building adhesion force; (2) a glass substrate or glass ceramic substrate; (3) a ceramic substrate; (4) a metal substrate; (5) a stone substrate; and (6) a synthetic polymer substrate. The surface of CS is even, structured, porous, or it has one or more holes.Preferred Adhesive Agent: The adhesive agent or the adhesion-enhancing medium comprises one of the following: (a1) a liquid, especially water, an alcohol, an organic liquid, an oil, a wax, or polymer; (a2) an elastic coating for solids; or (a3) an elastic intermediate layer for solids.Preferred Sealing/Fixing: The sealing or fixing is an adhesive, especially a silicon-, epoxide-, polyimide-, or arylate-based adhesive. The sealing or fixing is an adhesive which can be hardened by ultra-violet light, heat or air. The sealing or fixing is selected from one of the following materials: (b1) an adhesive with filler; (b2) adhesive with aggregate; (b3) adhesive tape which sticks on only one side; (b4) adhesive tape which sticks on both sides; (b5) kapton with silicon adhesive; (b6) adhesive tape as an adhesive frame; (b7) polymer; (b8) putty; (b9) wax.Preferred Methods: In (A), (I) is prepared as follows: (c1) pretreatment of the surfaces of CS and TS which will come into contact with each other; (c2) TS is contacted with CS so that they are held together adhesively. The pretreatment comprises; (i') cleaning; (ii') plasma pretreatment; or (iii') UV and/or UV/ozone pretreatment. Bringing TS and CS together comprises: (1) sliding TS on CS; (2) sliding CS on TS; (3) placing TS on CS; (4) placing TS on CS followed by pressing using homogenous area weight or rolling up with progressive pressing using a weight. An adhesive or an adhesive-enhancing medium is applied onto CS before placing TS on CS. A fixing or sealing is applied on TS. The adhesive is applied onto a localized area or on the entire area on CS. (I) is assembled in vacuum or with the help of a vacuum support.In (B), the method comprises: (d1) releasably binding the underside of TS to the top side of CS through adhesive force to give (I); (d2) treating and/or processing and/or transporting (I); and (d3) releasing TS from CS. Releasing TS is conducted using mechanical removal, ultrasound, compressed air, radiant heat, visible radiation, cutting, suction, burning, and/or chemicals.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - The coating on TS may be a weakly conducting layer, especially a conducting polymer. TS may comprise a polymer coated thin glass, polymer-thin glass composite, synthetic film or foil, or synthetic film-thin glass-composite. The adhesive agent or the adhesion-enhancing medium may comprise a polymer, an elastic coating for solids or an elastic intermediate layer for solids. The sealing or fixing may be a polymer.
