Abstract

Abstract A spherical particulate adhesive comprising at least an epoxy resin as the main component has an average particle size of 0.3 to 500 µm, the particles of the epoxy resin containing a latent curing agent homogeneously in the interior thereof. This adhesive is a heat-curable adhesive and has a very high bonding force. After bonding, the adhesive is chemically stable and is especially preferably used for bonding in the field of electronic materials, such as liquid crystal display devices, which are apt to be degraded by impurities and for which high-precision bonding is required.
