Adhesive and Rheological Properties of Lightly Crosslinked Model Acrylic Networks

Probing particle structure in waterborne pressure-sensitive adhesives with atomic force microscopy

“…solvent-cast) copolymers in adhesives has established clear correlation between the molecular structure of films and their adhesive performance. For instance, the effects of factors such as gel content, [10] molecular weight, [13] and crosslinking [14] have been established. There is a much smaller body of work to correlate the molecular architecture and nanostructure of waterborne colloidal films with their adhesion properties.…”

Adhesion mechanisms at soft polymer interfaces

“…With C 2 w5C 1 and J m w100, typical (Lindner et al 2006) of PSAs, the effective stiffness of the material obtained from equation (4.2) decreases by a factor of 10 between lZ1 and 2. Therefore, if the detachment strain reaches about 3Z1, a large increase in the deformation of the layer is expected even with a modest increase in interfacial friction.…”

Deformation and adhesion of a periodic soft–soft nanocomposite designed with structured polymer colloid particles

“…With the target structures having recently become clearer through careful experiments performed on solution and meltprocessed adhesives 5,6 , we developed and herein report, a method of colloidal processing to achieve precisely such structures, optimized for soft adhesives in the demanding application of adhesion to polyolefin surfaces.…”
