Durability of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Joints

Pressure sensitive mounting tapes provide a quick and effective fastening method compared to most mechanical joining techniques. Due to the viscoelastic nature of pressure sensitive adhesives their response to mechanical and climatic stress in terms of durability is different from most structural adhesives. While the feature of compensating differences in thermal expansion of bonded members and...

Effect of isopropyl myristate on the viscoelasticity and drug release of a drug-in-adhesive transdermal patch containing blonanserinEffect of isopropyl myristate on the viscoelasticity and drug release of a drug-in-adhesive transdermal patch containing blonanserinretain-->

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of isopropyl myristate (IPM), a penetration enhancer, on the viscoelasticity and drug release of a drug-in-adhesive transdermal patch containing blonanserin. The patches were prepared with DURO-TAK® 87-2287 as a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) containing 5% (w/w) of blonanserin and different concentrations of IPM. An in vitro release exp...

The Rolling Ball

Interactive graphics systems often need techniques that allow the user to rotate graphical objects freely in three-dimensional space using commonly-available two-dimensional input devices such as a mouse. Achieving this goal is hampered by the fact that there is no single natural mapping from the two parameters of the input device to the three-parameter space of orientations. Here we i n troduc...

9. Silicone Release Coatings for the Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Industry

Release liners are part of a composite made of a label with its own adhesive on a release liner or carrier with its own release coating. The label comprises either a synthetic face stock such as polypropylene or paper. The adhesive is usually an organic material such as a polyacrylate or polyisoprene based rubber. The release liner can be made from various substrates treated with a suitable pro...
