Abstract
Structured particle pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) latexes have been synthesized by sequential emulsion polymn., thus enabling the mechanism of film formation to be used to advantage in controlling the sub-micron and nanoscale morphol. of the PSA films formed from the latexes. The strategy was to produce structured particles with a soft copolymer core designed for high adhesion and a soft copolymer shell that could be crosslinked during film formation to provide a continuous phase of higher cohesive strength within the PSA film. Through careful design of the structured particles and manipulation of fundamental parameters known to modify adhesive performance, it has been possible to relate chem. and particle design parameters to adhesive performance and, hence, to define principles for enhancing the performance of water-borne PSAs.
