An energy-beam-curable thermal-releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive
sheet having, on at least one side of a base material, an
energy-beam-curable thermo-expandable viscoelastic layer containing
thermo-expandable microspheres and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer
stacked in this order. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a
thickness of about 0.1 to 10 .mu.m and can be formed from a
pressure-sensitive adhesive. The energy-beam-curable thermo-expandable
viscoelastic layer, on the other hand, can be formed from a tacky
substance. The energy-beam-curable thermal-releasable pressure-sensitive
adhesive sheet according to the invention has adhesion enough to
withstand a carrying step of an adherend, causes neither winding up of
the adhesive nor chipping upon cutting and facilitates peeling and
collection of cut pieces after cutting. In addition, it exhibits low
contamination on the adherend after peeling.
