“…Further studies are under way to investigate the relationship between glass transition temperature and the tack properties. According to literature, tack could be correlated with glass transition temperature where high tack is usually associated with low glass transition temperature [10]. Glass transition temperature can be measured using other techniques such as dynamic mechanical analysis.…”

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) have applications in the fields of packaging, joining, wound care, and personal care. Depending on the application of the PSA, different performance tests are carried out when new products are developed or the quality of the existing products is checked. Tack is the property of an adhesive that enables it to form instant bond on the surface under light pressure. The tack of a PSA strongly depends on the way the bond is created. Parameters such as the bonded area, contact time and the nature of tack materials all affect the tack force measured. In the development of any PSA, it is desirable to correlate the performance related properties such as tack and peel strength to the rheological behaviour. Finding these correlations would make it possible to evaluate the performance of a PSA using its rheological characteristics. In this investigation we have studied the influence of rheological behaviour of three different PSAs on their tackiness. The three different PSAs used in this study are a low molecular weight rosin ester, high molecular weight rosin ester, and dicyclopentadiene. Various rheological properties such as viscosity, phase angle, and elastic and viscous moduli are measured versus the frequency and temperature. Also the tack properties at various removal speeds and temperatures are evaluated. Analysis of the results indicates different performances of the three PSAs which could be related to their rheological properties, especially the phase angle, at different frequencies and temperatures. The PSA with high molecular weight rosin ester is more sensitive to temperature changes and showed drastic changes in tackiness from high temperature to low temperature. On the other hand, rosin ester with low molecular weight is less sensitive to temperature changes.

“…Although no clear relationship between functional properties and particle size distribution was observed, the relationship between high particle size and low peel strength observed in PSA-3 could agree with a behavior reported elsewhere. [9,18] Consequently, since particle size is highly influenced by the shear rate generated during polymerization mixing, [12,15] formulations with low effect of particle size on functional properties could be convenient during the scaling up. …”

A waterborne acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive produced in a commercial plant to label market was successfully developed. In order to reach the required functional properties (i.e. holding time, peel, and loop tack strengths), glass transition temperature, functional monomer content, type of surfactant, and reaction temperature were optimized. A proper balance of wetting and thickening agents content was found taking into consideration their significant unfavorable effect on functional properties.

“…Roberge et al [11] reported the batch copolymerization of styrene and butyl acrylate for the synthesis of pressure sensitive adhesives. For the generation of miniemulsion system, organic components styrene, butyl acrylate and octadecyl acrylate were mixed separately from the Triton X-405 and SDS surfactants in water.…”
