Abstract:
A crosslinkable composition, a crosslinked composition formed upon exposure of the crosslinkable composition to ultraviolet radiation or ionizing radiation, articles containing these compositions, and methods of making the articles are described. The crosslinkable compositions contain two different (meth)acrylate copolymers and can be applied to a substrate using an extrusion process. While being extruded, the crosslinkable compositions advantageously are resistant to crosslinking and/or increased molecular weights. The crosslinked compositions can function as adhesive compositions that are particularly well suited for use in electronic devices.
Abstract:
Pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions are described comprising polymerized units of (meth)acrylate monomer. Also described are articles comprising such pressure-sensitive adhesive composition.
Abstract:
A composition is described comprising a styrene-isobutylene block copolymer; and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer. After curing the composition comprises polymerized units of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer. In some embodiments the ethylenically unsaturated groups are selected from (meth)acryl or vinyl ether. The composition is suitable for use as a (e.g. pressure sensitive) adhesive. Articles, methods of making an article, and methods of bonding are also described.
Abstract:
Curable adhesive compositions are provided that can be cured using ultraviolet or visible light radiation. These curable adhesive compositions, which contain a curable (meth)acrylate copolymer, have a creep compliance that is less than 5(10−4) inverse Pascals at 25° C., a creep compliance that is greater than 1(10−3) inverse Pascals at 70° C., and a shear storage modulus greater than 40 kiloPascals when measured at 25° C. at a frequency of 1 radian/second.
Abstract:
The present invention is an assembly layer for a flexible device. Within a temperature range of between about −30° C. to about 90° C., the assembly layer has a shear storage modulus at a frequency of 1 Hz that does not exceed about 2 MPa, a shear creep compliance (J) of at least about 6×10−6 1 /Pa measured at 5 seconds with an applied shear stress between about 50 kPa and about 500 kPa, and a strain recovery of at least about 50% at at least one point of applied shear stress within the range of about 5 kPa to about 500 kPa within about 1 minute after removing the applied shear stress. The assembly layer includes at least one of a polyisoprene, a polybutadiene, an olefin block copolymer, a polyisobutylene, and high alkyl polyolefin.
Abstract:
A pattern article comprising a copolymer having polymerized units derived from a cleavable crosslinking monomer, to which a pattern is imparted by the release of incipient acid from a thermal acid generator or photoacid generator. The selective release of the acid provides a pattern of high crosslink density and low crosslink density as result of the incipient acid cleaving a portion of the crosslinks.
Abstract:
A composite particle that includes: a fluorescent semiconductor core/shell nanoparticle (preferably, nanocrystal); and a stabilizing additive of a (meth)acrylate copolymer having pendent phosphine, arsine or stibine groups.
Abstract:
