A novel pressure-sensitive adhesive containing carboxymethyl starch (CMS) with various degrees of substitution, has been developed for the paper industry. Obtained adhesives were transferred onto water-dispersible carrier giving repulpable double-sided splicing tape. The effect degree substitution (DS) on essential properties: tack, peel adhesion, as well shear strength steel and papers have te...

A pressure-sensitive, nonreacting and nonfouling adhesive which can perform well both in air and underwater is very desirable because of its potential applications in various settings such as biomedical, marine, and automobile. Taking a clue from nature that many natural adhesive pads have complex structures underneath the outer adhesive layer, we have prepared thin elastic adhesive films with ...

OBJECTIVE To determine if a biodendrimer adhesive will seal a clear corneal cataract incision. DESIGN An experimental study in which 2.75-mm clear corneal cataract incisions were made in 8 human donor eyes. The corneas were mounted on an artificial anterior chamber. Leaking pressure was determined in 6 corneas. These corneas were then treated with adhesive and leaking pressure was again measu...

Prevailing trend towards the use of lighter and lower cost engineered plastics in automotive, construction, aerospace, electronics and other industrial end uses have created a need for pressure sensitive materials that can bond well to these new, inherently low surface energy plastics. Reported herein are novel all acrylic compositions with inherently lower surface energy that display significa...

If geckos had not evolved, it is possible that humans would never have invented adhesive nanostructures. Geckos use millions of adhesive setae on their toes to climb vertical surfaces at speeds of over 1ms-1. Climbing presents a significant challenge for an adhesive in requiring both strong attachment and easy rapid removal. Conventional pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are either strong and...

Pressure-sensitive adhesives or PSAs are traditionally used on labels, including paper labels and clear labels, Figure 1, which are made from plastic film. Other important uses for PSAs include adhesive tapes and a wide range of graphical applications. One factor that all these applications have in common is a specific requirement relating to the end performance of the adhesive system, which is...

The effects of different bonding parameters, such as temperature, pressure, curing time, bonding temperature ramp and post-processing, on the electrical performance and the adhesive strengths of anisotropic conductive film (ACF) interconnection are investigated. The test results show that the contact resistances change slightly, but the adhesive strengths increase with the bonding temperature i...
