Synthesis and characterization of a pressure-sensitive adhesive based on an isobutyl acrylate / 2-ethylhexyl acrylate copolymer

ABSTRACT: A removable pressure-sensitive adhesive was obtained by free-radical emulsion polymerization. The product is a low-viscosity copolymer from different polar and apolar acrylic monomers consisting of microspheres of about 1 µm diameter. 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate and isobutyl acrylate were used a...
