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.

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.

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.

UV-crosslinkable warm-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives based on acrylics The target of this article is to show the preparation of new generation of UV-crosslinkable warm-melt acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and the experimental test of their adhesive properties in comparison with typical conventional hot-melts adhesives. New generation of UV-crosslinkable acrylic warm-melts PSAs containing unsaturated photoinitiator, incorporated during polymerization process into polymer chain, and photoreactive diluents added to PSA systems after polymerization allows producing of wide range of self-adhesive materials, such as labels, mounting tapes, masking and splicing tapes, and sign and marking films.

If the pressure sensitive adhesive is coated on the back, it can be used for bonding electronic tag, overburden, protective layer, and RFID layer. The acrylate pressure sensitive adhesives are simple and less pollution, so more and more companies pay attention on this kind of binder. Since the thickness of adhesive layer is relatively small, ink-jet printing is now widely used to easily obtain thin layer and design the pressure sensitive adhesive shape of different parts. So how to get superior performance pressure sensitive adhesive which is suitable for ink-jet printing become an urgent problem in printed electronics. The experiment was conducted through solution copolymerization of various vinyl monomers which were selected on the principle of solvent parameter prepared by free radical polymerization. The monomer, initiator mixture solution was dropped in continuous and synchronization process. By regulating the amount of initiator and polymerization temperature, we could effectively reduce the system viscosity and prepare high quality high-solids acrylate UV-curable pressure sensitive adhesives with low viscosity for ink-jet printing. The influence of initiator, solvents, transfer reagents and temperature on the structure and properties of the resin were discussed.

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.

Butyl acrylate/4-acryloyloxy benzophenone copolymers as photoreactive UV-crosslinkable pressure-sensitive adhesives It has previously been shown that copolymers of butyl acrylate with 4-acryloyloxy benzophenone can be used as pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). This paper presents the synthesis and application of a solvent-borne polymer system for the preparation of photoreactive UV-crosslinkable acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives. Butyl acrylate/benzophenone copolymers with molecular mass in the range 180 000 to 480 000 Dalton were prepared by carrying out free-radical solution polymerization. These copolymers were found to be tacky but in some cases to possess insufficient cohesive strength after UV-crosslinking to be useful as PSAs. The other copolymers resulted in materials with the balance of cohesive and adhesive characteristics required of good PSAs. Some of the parameters affecting the pressure-sensitive adhesive properties of the copolymers are the concentration of 4-acryloyloxy benzophenone, the molecular mass of the polymeric components, the UV-reactivity, and properties such as tack, peel adhesion, and cohesion.

A new class of additionable ultraviolet photoinitiators that can be used, through addition, for modification of the acrylic polymer chain and their influence of main properties of acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) is described here. The photoinitiators studied are based on benzophenone, dibenzofuran and anthraquinone chromophores. The propyleneimine carbonyl is the reactive additionable group incorporated in the photoinitiator structure. First, the solvent-borne acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive was synthesized and characterized. Then, a photoinitiator suitable for addition to the acrylic polymer chain possessing a carboxyl group was added before UV-irradiation. A mechanism of UV-initiated cross-linking reaction of acrylic PSA with additionable photoinitiators was done as well. The influence of the concentration and type of photoinitiator, UV-crosslinking time and UV-dose on peel adhesion, shear strength and tack of solvent-borne acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives cross-linked by UV light was studied and presented here. It was found that the tack depends on the UV-dose and photoinitiator concentration. An increase of UV dose results in an increase of shear strength of acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) formulations.
