Abstract:
Adhesive compositions that are optically transparent include a (meth)acrylate-based copolymer having a refractive index of at least 1.48, and particles of a thermoplastic polymer. At least some of the particles have an average particle size that is larger than the wavelength of visible light. The adhesive compositions are prepared by hot melt processing packaged adhesive compositions.
Abstract:
Adhesive compositions including 20 wt. % to 80 wt. % of a polymer selected from the group consisting of a radial styrene-isoprene block copolymer, a radial styrene-butadiene block copolymer, and combinations thereof, and 3 wt. % to 80 wt. % of a liquid rubber having a molecular weight of 300 Daltons to 100,000 Daltons, where the liquid rubber is selected from the group consisting of an isoprene rubber, a butadiene rubber, and combinations thereof. Such adhesive compositions exhibit high cohesive integrity as well as high adhesion and peel properties.
Abstract:
A polymerizable pre-adhesive composition includes packaging material and a packaged pre-adhesive reactive mixture sealed within the packaging material. The packaging material includes: a semicrystalline polylactic acid (PLA); a polyvinyl acetate (PVAc); and a plasticizer; wherein the PLA/PVAc-containing packaging material has a single Tg of less than 25° C. and a normalized Haze value of less than 10% per 25 microns.

Abstract:
A crosslinkable composition comprises components: (a) at least one polymer comprising isobutylene monomer units: and (b) at least one star polymer represented by the formula SiRn(OSi(R)2-PIB-T)4-n. Each R independently represents a hydrocarbyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Each PIB independently represents a divalent polymeric segment comprising isobutylene monomer units. Each T independently represents a monovalent terminal group, and n is 0 or 1. An adhesive comprising a crosslinked reaction product of the crosslinkable composition and a method of making the adhesive are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Optically clear adhesive compositions contain an elastomeric polymer and a low molecular weight polymeric additive. The elastomeric polymer and the low molecular weight polymeric additive form an acid-base interaction. The refractive index of the adhesive composition is higher than the refractive index of the elastomeric polymer. The adhesive composition may also contain additional domains of liquids, polymers, additives or particles that have a higher refractive index than the elastomeric polymer.
