Synthesis of photoreactive solvent-free acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives in the recovered system The present paper discloses a novel photoreactive solvent-free acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) systems, especially suitable for the so much adhesive film applications as the double-sided, single-sided or carrier-free technical tapes, self-adhesive labels, protective films, marking and sign films and wide range of medical products. The novel photoreactive solvent-free pressure-sensitive adhesives contain no volatile organic compounds (residue monomers or organic solvent) and comply with the environment and legislation. The synthesis of this new type of acrylic PSA is conducted in common practice by solvent polymerisation. After the organic solvent are removed, there remains a non-volatile, solvent-free highly viscous material, which can be processed on a hot-melt coating machine at the temperatures of about 100 to 140°C.

Solvent-free acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives were prepared via visible-light driven photocatalytic free radical polymerization. Combined experiments and quantum calculations divulged the origin of the enhanced rate of polymerisation in the presence of N-vinyl monomers.

The present publication is related to a process for producing the non-solvent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). New applications and technical specifications stimulate the continuous development of new methods of polymerization of solvent-free acrylate. New synthesis of solvent-free acrylics includes polymerization in the reactor with removal of the solvent and polymerization of the carrier. The polymerization process is connected with UV-crosslinking.

Development of photoreactive UV-crosslinkable solvent-free acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives coated at room temperature and used for removable and repositionable self-adhesive materialsThe goal of this article is to review the development of photoreactive UV-crosslinkable acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) characterized by low viscosity, which can be coated at room temperature in the form of adhesive layers and are characterized by removable properties after UV-crosslinking. Surfactants and stearic acid have been used to improve the performance of the acrylic PSA, too. They are used for the manufacturing of removable and repositionable self-adhesive products, such as easy peel-able decorative films and wide range version of post-it articles.

Owing to their excellent properties, such as transparency, resistance to oxidation, and high adhesivity, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are widely used. Recently, solvent-free acrylic PSAs, which are typically prepared via photopolymerization, have attracted increasing attention because of the current strict environmental regulations. UV light is commonly used as an excitation source for photopolymerization, whereas visible light, which is safer for humans, is rarely utilized. In this study, we prepared solvent-free acrylic PSAs via visible light-driven photoredox-mediated radical polymerization. Three α-haloesters were used as additives to overcome critical shortcomings, such as the previously reported low film curing rate and poor transparency observed during additive-free photocatalytic polymerization. The film curing rate was greatly increased in the presence of α-haloesters, which lowered the photocatalyst loadings and, hence, improved the film transparency. These results confirmed that our method could be widely used to prepare general-purpose solvent-free PSAs—in particular, optically clear adhesives for electronics.

This study investigated the addition of acrylic fiber to old corrugated container (OCC) pulp as a possible means of overcoming adverse effects of water-based pressure sensitive adhesives during manufacture of paper or paperboard. Such adhesives can constitute a main source of stickies, which hurt the efficiency of the papermaking process and make tacky spots in the product. The highest amount of acrylic fiber added to recycled pulps generally resulted in a 77% reduction in accepted pulp microstickies. The addition of acrylic fibers also increased pulp freeness, tear index, burst strength, and breaking length, though there was a reduction in screen yield. Hence, in addition to controlling the adverse effects of stickies, the addition of acrylic fibers resulted in the improvement of the mechanical properties of paper compared with a control sample.
