Effect of molecular weight of epoxidized‐natural rubber on viscosity and tack of pressure‐sensitive adhesives

The effect of molecular weight of rubber on viscosity and loop tack of rubber‐adhesives were studied using two grades of epoxidized‐natural rubber, i.e., ENR 25 and ENR 50. Coumarone–indene resin, gum rosin, and petro resin were used as tackifiers. Toluene was used as the solvent throughout the experiment. The adhesive was coated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using a SHEEN hand coater. Viscosity was determined by a HAAKE Rotary Viscometer, whereas loop tack was measured by a Llyod Adhesion Tester operating at 10 cm/min. Results show that viscosity increases gradually upto a critical molecular weight of 6.8 × 10⁴ and 3.9 × 10⁴ for ENR 25 and ENR 50, respectively, before a rapid increase in viscosity is observed. Loop tack indicates maximum value at the respective critical molecular weights for the three tackifiers investigated suggesting the culmination of wettability. For both rubbers, loop tack increases with coating thickness due to the concentration effect of adhesive. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010     

Silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives with selective adhesion characteristics

The peel, probe tack, and loop tack adhesion characteristics of peroxide-cured silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are investigated with respect to adhesive composition, peroxide concentration, and type of substrate. These adhesion properties decrease with increasing benzoyl peroxide concentration and their adhesion values vary noticeably with the substrate type. However, the loop adhesion to 'difficult-to-wet' surfaces (e.g. silicone-coated substrates) can be selectively enhanced by incorporating an organofunctional silicone into the silicone PSA mixture. The enhancement in adhesion is attributed to a wetting/adhesion improvement at the adhesive- substrate interface, and relates to the type of organosilicone modifier in the order aminosilicone > vinylsilicone > epoxysilicone > fluorosilicone.     

Effect of organoclay and chain-transfer agent on molecular parameters and adhesion performance of emulsion pressure-sensitive adhesives

Organoclay-reinforced pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) based on poly(butyl acrylate-co-vinyl acetate-co-acrylic acid) were prepared in the presence of an organically modified montmorillonite, that is, Cloisite15A (C15A), via in situ batch emulsion polymerization. The effect of C15A and chain transfer agent (CTA) level on the molecular parameters and adhesion properties of resulting reinforced PSA were investigated. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to determine the characteristics of the neat and reinforced PSAs. The adhesion test results showed that the incorporation of C15A up to 1 wt% considerably increased the peel strength, shear and probe tack due to increasing the entanglement density of the PSA copolymer, while further increase lowered the peal and tack properties. Interestingly, the addition of 0.25 wt% CTA in the presence of 1 wt% C15A silicate layers resulted in PSA nanocomposite with the highest peal strength and probe tack. Although the CTA remarkably decreased the shear resistance of the neat PSA, the existence of C15A layers or tactoids in the reinforced PSAs decreased the rate of shear resistance decay due to the good interaction between the C15A and adhesive copolymer chains.     

Effect of molecular weight of epoxidized natural rubber on shear strength of adhesives

The dependence of shear strength of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR)‐based adhesives on molecular weight of the rubber is studied using coumarone–indene resin, gum rosin, and petro resin as tackifiers. The adhesive was coated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film substrate using a SHEEN hand coater at various coating thickness. The shear strength of adhesives was determined by a Texture Analyzer. Results show a maximum at 6.63 × 10⁴ and 4.14 × 10⁴ for ENR 25 and ENR 50, respectively, after which the shear strength decreases with further increases in molecular weight for all the coating thickness. This observation is attributed to varying degree of cohesiveness which culminates at the respective optimum molecular weight of ENR. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009     

Practical relationship between apparent viscosity and molecular weight of urea-formaldehyde resin adhesives

The proper viscosity of urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin adhesive for optimum adhesion depends on the type of a raw wood material for wood-based composite panels. This study investigated the practical relationship between apparent viscosity and molecular weight (MW) of UF resin adhesives during the control of their synthesis. The UF resins were synthesized at various formaldehyde/urea (F/U) mole ratios ranging from 0.8 to 1.5 with different apparent viscosities. In addition, low- and high-viscosity UF resins with 1.0 and 1.2 F/U mole ratios, respectively, were mixed at five different blending ratios of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100 to obtain different viscosities. The MW of each resin was measured by gel permeation chromatography, and the relationship between apparent viscosity and MW was derived using the Mark-Houwink (M-H) equation. The results showed a good relationship between the two parameters, allowing the prediction of the MW of UF resins based on their apparent viscosity after synthesis. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) values fit well with the M-H equation, while the number average molecular weight (Mn) values did not. For the first time, this paper has reported that k and α, constants of the M-H equation based on Mw of the UF resin, ranged from 0.015 to 0.017 and 1.172 to 1.276, respectively. These suggest that the relationship between apparent viscosity and Mw should be considered for the synthesis of UF resin adhesives.     

Evolution of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution in ab initio styrene emulsion polymerizations using series of rigid rodlike cationic amphiphiles as surfactants

The emulsion polymerization of styrene is carried out using a series of unconventional rigid rodlike cationic surfactants (1‐[ω‐(4′‐methoxy‐4‐biphenylyloxy)alkyl]pyridinium bromides, PCX) of different lengths. The evolution of the molecular weight (M) and molecular weight distribution of the polymers is analyzed to obtain information about the chain stopping mechanism. Our results indicate that the M is strongly dependent on the initial surfactant concentration and is not dependent on the alkyl chain length. The Clay and Gilbert model [ln P(M) versus M plots] yields a concave‐up region at low molecular weights and a linear region that extends to high values. The slope of the linear region, which is related to the rate coefficient of the chain transfer to the monomer versus the propagation rate coefficient ratio, decreases as the PCX concentration increases. This behavior indicates that as the PCX concentration increases the chain transfer to monomer becomes the dominant chain stopping mechanism. On the other hand, the ln P(M) versus M plots of polymer samples taken at low and high conversions show differences in slope, particularly at low PCX concentration. It is likely that at low conversion the chain transfer to monomer competes with other chain stopping mechanisms that could be associated with a coagulative nucleation process. The formation of a high molecular weight fraction at low conversion supports this explanation. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 84: 1513–1523, 2002; DOI 10.1002/app.10489     

Photocrosslinking of solvent-based acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) by the use of selected photoinitiators type I

This study investigated the photocrosslinking of solvent-based acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) containing selected photoinitiators type I, known as α-cleavage photoinitiators. Photocrosslinking of PSA, especially of acrylic PSA, is well established crosslinking process using the UV radiation technology. UV-initiated crosslinking of acrylic PSA allows the synthesis of the wide range of UV-crosslinkable PSA with the interesting features. Especially, the important balances of properties such as adhesive and cohesive strength which are typically critical for the application performance can be achieved by this technology. The selection of suitable photoinitiator plays an important role to obtain the optimum properties of acrylic PSA including tack, peel adhesion, and shear strength. In this study, the investigations on different saturated conventional photoinitiators of type I for solvent-based PSA were carried out. The effects of photoinitiator concentration, UV crosslinking time and UV dose on the tack, peel strength, and shear strength were explored in detail for guiding the choice of photoinitiators to fabricate advanced PSA for industrial usage.
