Abstract

See full text

A slider assembly is provided comprising a plurality of sliders bonded by a debondable solid encapsulant comprised of different first and second polymers The solid encapsulant is comprised of a polymer prepared by polymerizing an encapsulant fluid comprising a homogeneous mixture of first and second constituents. The first constituent is comprised of a first monomer suitable for in situ polymerization to form the first polymer. The second constituent is comprised of the second polymer or a second monomer suitable for in situ polymerization to form the second polymer. The first constituent does not substantially react with the second constituent. Each slider has a surface that is free from the encapsulant. The encapsulant-free surfaces are coplanar to each other. Also provided are methods for forming the assembly and methods for patterning a slider surface using the encapsulant.
