- the amount of high molecular weight epoxy compound in the thermosettable composition of the adhesive sheet is typically between 15 and 60 wt. %, for example between 20 and 45 wt. % based on total weight of the thermosettable composition.
- the amount of low molecular weight epoxy compound in the thermosettable composition of the adhesive sheet is typically between 5 and 40 wt. %, for example between 10 and 30 wt. % based on total weight of the thermosettable composition.
- the weight ratio of the amount of the first or high molecular weight epoxy compound over the amount of the second or lower molecular weight epoxy compound is between 0.8 and 4, for example between 0.9 and 3 or between 0.9 and 2.8.
- Epoxide hardeners or epoxy curing agents useful in the thermosettable composition are materials that react with the oxirane ring of the organic epoxide to cause substantial cross- linking of the epoxide. These materials contain at least one nucleophilic or electrophilic moiety (such as an active hydrogen atom) that causes the cross-linking reaction to occur. Epoxide hardeners are distinct from epoxide chain extension agents, which primarily become lodged between chains of the organic epoxide and cause little, if any cross-linking. Epoxy hardeners as used herein are also known in the art as curing agents, catalysts, epoxy curatives, and curatives.
- Accelerators typically are multifunctional materials which can also be classified as epoxide hardeners. Therefore, in the present specification, no differentiation is made between hardeners and accelerators.
- Epoxide hardeners useful in the invention include those which are conventionally used for curing epoxy resin compositions and forming crosslinked polymer networks.
- Such agents include aliphatic and aromatic primary amines, for example, di-(4-aminophenyl)suIfone, di-(4-aminophenyl)-ethers, and 2,2-bis(4-aminophenyI)propane.

- boron complexes in particular boron complexes with monoethanolamine, imidazoles such as 2- ethyl-methylimidazole, guanidines such as tetramethyl guanidine, substituted ureas such as toluene diisocyanate urea, dicyanodiamide, and acid anhydrides such as the 4- methyltetrahydroxyphthalic acid anhydride, 3-methyltetrahydroxyphthalic acid anhydride and methylnorbornenephthalic acid anhydride, may be employed. Still other useful hardeners include polyamines, mercaptans and phenols.
- the epoxide hardener is selected from the group consisting of amines, acid anhydrides, guanidines, dicyandiamide and mixtures thereof. More preferably the epoxide hardener is a mixture of dicyandiamide and 2,4-di-(N'N'-dimethylureido)toluene.
- the thermosettable composition of the adhesive sheet comprises between 1 and 40 wt. % and more preferably between 2 and 25 wt. % (based on total weight of the thermosettable composition) of one or more epoxide curing agents.
- the thermosettable composition furthermore includes one or more toughening agents in an amount of 10 to 30 wt. % based on total weight of the thermosettable composition and more preferably of between 12.5 and 25 wt. %.
- the toughening agents are preferably selected from a group comprising core-shell toughening agents, CTBNs (carboxyl and/or nitrile terminated butadiene/nitrile rubbers) and high molecular weight amine terminated polytetramethylene oxide.
- Core-shell toughening agents which are especially preferred, usually comprise different materials in the inner core region and the outer shell region, respectively.
- the core may be harder than the shell but this is not required.
- the shell may comprise harder material and/or the shell may be layered in its construction.
- the inner hard core component is comprised of a single and/or a plurality of organic polymers and inorganic oxides from the first, second and/or third transition series of the periodic table such as silica, alumina, zirconia, and/or naturally occurring minerals such as feldspars, silicates, aluminates, zirconates, and/or other hardened materials such as carbides, nitrides, silicides, aluminides, and/or some combination thereof and therebetween.

- the soft shell preferably includes modifications with functionalities such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, epoxy, cyanates, isocyanates, amino, and thiol which can react with the epoxy components of the precursor.
- Core-shell toughening agents which are useful in the thermosettable composition are commercially available, for example, from Rohm and Hass under the trade designation ParaloidTM.
- CTBN toughening agents react through their carboxyl and/or nitrile functional groups with the epoxide component of the precursor during curing thereby introducing their butadiene/nitrile rubber portion as a soft, shock-absorbing segment into the epoxy network forming a hard segment.
- CTBN toughening agents which are useful in the present invention are commercially available, for example, from Hanse Chemie AG, Hamburg, Germany, under the trade designation "AlbipoxTM”.
- a high molecular weight amine terminated polytetramethylene oxide useful in the thermosettable composition is commercially available, for example, from 3M Company, St. Paul/MN, USA, under the trade designation "3M EPXTM Rubber".

- the thermosettable composition furthermore comprises one or more blowing agents.
- a blowing agent in the thermosettable composition of the adhesive sheet, the adhesive sheet becomes heat expandable. Accordingly, by heating, for example during the heating to cause thermosetting of the adhesive sheet, the adhesive sheet expands which helps sealing of any gap in the metal joint. It has been found that as a result, corrosion resistance may be improved.
- the one or more blowing agents are preferably selected from the group of non- encapsulated or encapsulated blowing agents, respectively. Non-chemical blowing agents, which are sometimes also referred to as chemical blowing agents, release a gaseous compound such as nitrogen, nitrogen oxide, hydrogen or carboxide dioxide during heating.

- the amount of the one or more chemical blowing agents preferably is 0.2 to 2 wt. % and more preferably 0.5 to 1.5 wt. % with respect to the mass of the thermosettable composition.
- Encapsulated blowing agents usually comprise liquified gases such as, for example, trichlorofluoromethane or hydrocarbons such as n-pentane, iso-pentane, neo-pentane, butane and/or iso-butane encapsulated in a polymeric thermoplastic shell. Upon heating the liquified gas expands and enlarges or blows up the thermoplastic shell like a "micro- balloon".
- the one or more encapsulated blowing agents may be used in an amount of between 0.2 and 5 wt. % and more preferably of between 0.5 and 4 wt. % with respect to the mass of the thermosettable composition.

- An especially useful wetting agent is commercially available as Coatex DO- UP6L from Coatex, Gene, France.
- the thermosettable composition may comprise one or more fillers which may be used to regulate rheological properties of the precursor and adjust its viscosity to improve and adjust its processability with respect to a specific application.
- these are preferably inorganic fillers, including silica.
- silica Especially preferred is hydrophobic fumed silica which is commercially available as AerosilTM from Degussa or CAB-O- S1LTM from Cabot.

All test assemblies were then cured for 30 minutes at 180 °C in an air circulating oven. Hereby the test assemblies were heated up and cooled down using 3°C/minute ramps. Test assemblies were then conditioned for 24 hours at ambient condition 23 +/-2°C and 50 +/- 5 % relative humidity before testing. All test assemblies were then inspected visually.

Once the solid epoxy resin was completely melted, the homogenous blend of the epoxy resins was kept at a temperature of 80°C and the thoughener (Genioperl P52) together with the silica filler/ hydrophobizing agent (Aerosil R202) added. Further melting and dispersing for 60 minutes was completed to ensure complete dispersion of all ingredients.

All of these mixtures were pastes having a uniform consistency and were dumped into heated drums after completion of the mixing process. From these drums the mixtures were hot-melt coated to a film thickness of 0.7mm. The formed films were soft and homogenous when cooled down.
