TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Composition: The adhesive composition further comprises rubber particles having a core/shell structure. In the adhesive composition: a mixture comprising the above components (a) and (c), is stored separately from the above component (b), where (1) a shear thinning ratio at 45 degrees C of the mixture is at least 20% greater than a shear thinning ratio at 45 degrees C of a comparative mixture comprising the above component (a) but not including the above component (c) as measured by an Aton-Paar Physica MCR 301 Rheometer with 25 mm plate and 0.7 mm gap, and (2) a viscosity recovery ((T3) at 17 minutes) of the mixture is at least 3 times greater than a viscosity recovery ((T3) at 17 minutes) of a comparative mixture comprising the above component (a) but not including the above component (c) as measured by an Aton-Paar Physica MCR 301 Rheometer with 25 mm plate and 0.7 mm gap; and a Thixotropic Index of the mixture is at least 25% greater than the Thixotropic Index of a comparative mixture comprising component (a) but not including (c) as determined by logarithmically comparing the viscosity of the adhesive sample after 7 minutes of recovery versus the viscosity of the sample as it is being applied. Preferred Components: The graphenic carbon particles are thermally produced. The graphenic carbon particles have a thickness, measured in a direction perpendicular to at least one carbon atom layer, of no more than 10 nm. The graphenic carbon particles have an aspect ratio of greater than 3:1. The graphenic carbon particles are present in an amount of 1-10 wt.%. The second component (b) comprises a heat activated latent curing agent. A 0.5 wt.% of solution of the graphenic carbon particles in butyl Cellosolve (RTM: Glycol ether) has a bulk liquid conductivity of at least 100 microSiemens as measured by a Fisher Scientific AB 30 conductivity meter. Preferred Method: The thermally produced graphenic carbon particles are produced by heating at least one hydrocarbon precursor material (e.g. methane precursor material) capable of forming a two-carbon species in a thermal zone at a temperature of at least 1000 degrees C. The second component chemically reacts with the first component without the need for activation from an external energy source. The second component chemically reacts with the first component after mixing and upon activation from an external energy source.
