Miscibility and fracture energy of probe tack for acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives: acrylic copolymer/tackifier resin systems

The relationship between the miscibility of acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) and the fracture energy (W) (Jm⁻²) of the probe tack was investigated, wherein the master curve of W was compared with that of the maximum force (σ_max) (gf) of the probe tack. It was ascertained that W of acrylic PSA was closely related to the miscibility between the components (acrylic copolymer and tackifier resin). In the case of the miscible blend system, the master curve of W shifted toward the lower rate side and, at the same time, the magnitude decreased as the tackifier resin content increased. The degree of the shift of W was extremely smaller than that of σ_max. In the case of the immiscible blend system, the master curve of W remarkably decreased as the tackifier resin content increased, which suggests the fact that W of the PSA depended on the dynamic mechanical properties of the matrix phase and that the resin-rich phase acted as a kind of filler, thus reducing the practical performance. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Effects of miscibility and viscoelasticity on shear creep resistance of natural‐rubber‐based pressure‐sensitive adhesives

Natural rubber (NR) was blended in various ratios with 29 kinds of tackifier resins. Miscibilities of all the blend systems were illustrated as phase diagrams. From these blend systems, we selected 8 systems having typical phase diagrams (completely miscible, immiscible, lower critical solution temperature [LCST] types) and carried out measurements of shear creep resistance (holding power). Holding time was recorded as required time for the pressure‐sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape under shear load to completely slip away from the adherend. Holding time of miscible PSA systems tended to decrease as the tackifier content increased. This is attributable to a decrease in plateau modulus of the PSA with increasing tackifier content. There was rather large difference in holding time by tackifier among the miscible PSA systems; the reason for this is also considered to be a difference in plateau modulus. Holding time of an immiscible PSA system scarcely changed by tackifier content. But in another immiscible system, holding time tended to increase with increasing tackifier content. In fact, in the case of immiscible PSAs, the effect of tackifier content on holding time was different from tackifier to tackifier. This may be caused by difference in extent of phase separation. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 75: 1535–1545, 2000     

Influence of crosslinking and peeling rate on tack properties of polyacrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives

Tack properties and peeling behavior of crosslinked polyacrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives were investigated. The model adhesive was a crosslinked poly(n-butyl acrylate-acrylic acid) random copolymer with an acrylic acid content of 5?mol% with various crosslinking degrees. Tack was measured using a probe tack test with probe rates of 1 and 10?mm/s and various contact time. The tack increased with contact time. The degree of tack rising with contact time decreased with an increase in crosslinking degree for 10?mm/s, while the tendency was opposite for 1?mm/s. The temperature dependency of tack was measured with a contact time of 30?s. The tack peak shifted to higher temperatures with an increase in crosslinking degree and probe rate. Peeling behavior was observed using high-speed microscopy. The peeling behavior changed from A to C with the decrease of peeling rate and crosslinking degree. A: Cavitation and peeling progressed simultaneously at maximum stress at 10?mm/s independent on the crosslinking degree. B: Cavitation occurred at the edge of the probe at low stress and spread to the center of the probe at maximum stress at 1?mm/s and high crosslinking degree, then peeled out. C: After B, fibrillation occurred at 1?mm/s with low crosslinking degree. The change of peeling behavior was caused by the following: the interfacial adhesion increased, while the cohesive strength decreased as crosslinking degree and probe rate decreased.

Adhesion behavior of natural rubber‐based adhesives crosslinked by benzoyl peroxide

The loop tack, peel, and shear strength of crosslinked natural rubber adhesive were studied using coumarone‐indene and toluene as the tackifying resin and solvent, respectively. The concentration of benzoyl peroxide‐the crosslinking agent—was varied from 1 to 4 parts per hundred parts of rubber (phr). A SHEEN hand coater was used to coat the adhesive on the polyethylene terephthalate substrate at various coating thickness. Loop tack, peel, and shear strength were measured by a Llyod adhesion tester operating at 30 cm min^?1. Result shows that loop tack and peel strength of the adhesive increases up to 2 phr of benzoyl peroxide concentration after which it decreases with further benzoyl peroxide content. This observation is attributed to the optimum crosslinking of natural rubber where optimum cohesive and adhesive strength occurs at 2 phr peroxide loading. However, for the shear strength, it increases with increasing benzoyl peroxide concentration where higher rate of increase is observed after 2 phr of peroxide content, an observation which is associated to the steady increase in cohesive strength of crosslinked rubber. In all cases, the adhesion properties of adhesives increase with increase in coating thickness. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012

PSA performances and viscoelastic properties of SIS‐based PSA blends with H‐DCPD tackifiers

Hotmelt pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) usually contain styrenic block copolymers like styrene–isoprene–styrene (SIS), SBS, SEBS, tackifier, oil, and additives. These block copolymers individually reveal no tack. Therefore, a tackifier is a low molecular weight material with high glass transition temperature (T_g), and imparts the tacky property to PSA. The SIS block copolymer with different diblocks was blended with hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene (H‐DCPD tackifier), which has three kinds of T_g. PSA performance was evaluated by probe tack, peel strength, and shear adhesion failure temperature. PSA is a viscoelastic material, so that its performance is significantly related to the viscoelastic properties of PSAs. We tested the viscoelastic properties by dynamic mechanical analysis and the thermal properties by differential scanning calorimeter to investigate the relation between viscoelastic properties and PSA performance. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Adhesion properties of pressure-sensitive adhesives prepared from SMR 10/ENR 25, SMR 10/ENR 50, and ENR 25/ENR 50 blends

The adhesion properties, i.e. viscosity, tack, and peel strength of pressure-sensitive adhesives prepared from natural rubber/epoxidized natural rubber blends were investigated using coumarone-indene resin and toluene as the tackifier and solvent respectively. One grade of natural rubber (SMR 10) and two grades of epoxidized natural rubbers (ENR 25 and ENR 50) were used to prepare the rubber blends with blend ratio ranging from 0 to 100%. Coumarone-indene resin content was fixed at 40 parts per hundred parts of rubber (phr) in the adhesive formulation. The viscosity of adhesive was measured by a HAAKE Rotary Viscometer whereas loop tack and peel strength was determined using a Lloyd Adhesion Tester operating at 30 cm/min. Results show that the viscosity of the adhesive passes through a minimum value at 20% blend ratio. For loop tack and peel strength, it indicates a maximum at 60% blend ratio for SMR 10/ENR 25 and SMR 10/ENR 50 systems. However, for ENR 25/ENR 50 blend, maximum value is observed at 80% blend ratio. SMR 10/ENR 25 blend consistently exhibits the best adhesion property in this study, an observation which is attributed to the optimum compatibility between rubbers and wettability of adhesive on the substrate. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Temperature dependence of tack and pulse NMR analysis of polystyrene block copolymer/tackifier system

The influence of tackifier structure on the temperature dependence of tack for a polystyrene block copolymer/tackifier system was investigated. A blend of polystyrene-block-polyisoprene-block- polystyrene triblock and polystyrene-block-polyisoprene diblock copolymers was used as the base polymer. Four different tackifiers were used: special rosin ester resin (RE), rosin phenolic resin (RP), hydrogenated cyclo-aliphatic resin (HC), and aliphatic petroleum resin (C5). Tack at 20?°C increased with the tackifier content for both RE and HC tackifier systems. Tack is affected by two factors: the work of adhesion at the adherend interface and the viscoelastic properties of the adhesive. The good balance of these two factors brought high tack. The adhesive with 10 wt.% tackifier exhibited the highest tack at 20?°C, whereas those with 30 and 50 wt.% tackifier were lower than those systems with 10 wt.% of the RP or C5 tackifiers. The adhesive with overly high hardness lowered the work of adhesion and the tack was not improved with more than 30 wt.%. A compatibility test in toluene solution and in solid state showed that tackifier RE has good compatibility with both polyisoprene and polystyrene, whereas tackifier RP has lower compatibility. Tackifiers HC and C5 had good compatibility with polyisoprene, but poor compatibility with polystyrene, and that of C5 was poorer. Pulse nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses indicated that tackifiers RE and HC effectively restrict the molecular mobility of polyisoprene phase.     

Relationship between the fracture energy and the mechanical behaviour of pressure-sensitive adhesives

Mechanical behaviours of two pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) families, composed of elastomer copolymers or polyacrylate/acrylic copolymers, are characterised by peel tests. Fracture energy varies linearly according to the applied contact force between two levels, which depends on tackiness and cohesion of the PSA. Local fracture energies are measured by an original peeling system and they are related with the adhesive deformation. Mechanical behaviours of PSAs depend on their composition but majority of fracture energy is dissipated on the first millimetre near the bending zone where fibrils elongation is maximum. Observations of interfaces between PSAs and glass substrate underline that fracture energy varies linearly according to the contact area.

Effect of zinc oxide on the viscosity,tack, and peel strength of ENR 25‐based pressure‐sensitive adhesives

Viscosity, loop tack, and peel strength of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR 25 grade)‐based pressure‐sensitive adhesive was studied in the presence of zinc oxide. The zinc oxide concentration was varied from 10–50 parts per hundred parts of rubber (phr). Coumarone–indene resin with loading from 20 to 100 phr was chosen as the tackifier resin. Toluene was used as the solvent throughout the experiment. The adhesive was coated on the substrate using a SHEEN hand coater to give a coating thickness of 60 μm. Viscosity of the adhesive was determined by a HAAKE Rotary Viscometer whereas the loop tack and peel strength were measured by a Llyod Adhesion Tester operating at 30 cm/min. Results show that viscosity and loop tack of adhesive increases with increasing zinc oxide concentration. For the peel strength, it increases with zinc oxide concentration up to 30–40 phr and drops after the maximum value. This observation is associated with the effect of varying degree of wettability of the adhesive on the substrate. However, for a fixed zinc oxide concentration, loop tack and peel strength exhibit maximum value at 80 phr resin loading after which both properties decrease with further addition of resin, an observation which is attributed to phase inversion. From this study, the optimum adhesion property is achieved by using 40 phr zinc oxide and 80 phr coumarone–indene resin. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007
