Preparation and Characterization of Removal-type Acrylic Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive

4원 아크릴계 박리형 점착제의 제조와 특성에 관한 연구

In order to improve the properties of the copolymer and the terpolymer that was used as removal-type pressure sensitive adhesive(PSA), we synthesized quaterpolymer with the variation of the types of monomer, initiator, and solvent, and concentration, the monomer/solvent ratio, reaction temperature and time. and determined the properties of this adhesive: the viscosity, molecular weight, conversion, solid content and structure of polymer. The prepared polymer was crosslinked by changing the type of crosslinking agent and concentration, and then we investigated the characteristics or adhesive such as peel adhesion, shear adhesion, heat resistance, weathering resistance and peel adhesion to aging. The optimum performance of RA/2- EHA/MMA/2-HEMA as a PSA were obtained when benzoyl peroxide was used as an initiator with the reactant mixture consisted of 80% BA and 2-EHA, 15%, MMA, and 5% 2-HFMA. The optimum reaction temperature and time were $80^{\circ}C$ and 8 hours, respectively. For BA/2-EHA/MMA/AA, the optimum performance was obtained when the polymerization was performed at the monomer composition of 80% BA/2-EHA, 15% MMA, and 5% AA. BPO was used as initiator and the optimum reaction temperature and time were identical to those of BA/2-EHA/MMA/ 2-HEMA. Isocyanate and melamine were used to crosslink BA/2-EHA/MMA/2-HEMA and BA/2-EHA/MMA/AA, respectively. No effect on the type of cross-linking agent on the peel adhesion was observed with aging. The quarterpolymers crosslinked with melamine left residues on the counter surface after weathering resistance test, while the polymers crosslinked with isocyanate did not.

2원, 3원 공중합 점착제의 물성을 향상시키기 위해 4인 공중합체를 단량체의 종류와 농도, 개시제의 종류와 농도, 반응온도와 반응시간, 용매의 종류 및 단량체와 용매의 혼합비를 변화시켜 합성하여 점착제의 물성인 점도, 분자량, 전환율, 고형분과 구조분석들을 고찰하였다. 합성한 각 중합체에 내하여 가교제의 종류 및 농도를 변화시켜 점착세의 성능인 점착력. 유지력, 내열성, 내후성, 경시변화를 고찰한 결과, 디음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 4원 공중합체의 최적 혼합비는 BA/2-EHA/MMA/2-HEMA인 경우, 주단량체인 BA/2-EHA가 80%, 공단량체인 MMA가 15%, 관능성 단량체 2-HEMA가 5%. BA/2-EHA/MMA/AA인 경우, 주단량체인 BA, 2-EHA가 80%, 공단량체인 MMA기 15%, 관능성 단량체 AA가 5%이다. 4원으로 합성한 RA/2-EHA/MMA/2-HEMA의 점착제에 가교제로 이소시아네이트가 적합하였으며, BA/2-EHA/MMA/AA인 경우는 가교제로 멜라민계가 적합하고 점착력의 경시변화는 가교제로 이소시아네이트(PTDI)나 멜라민계 모두 균일하있으며, 내후성 시험후에 표면관찰을 하면 멜라민계는 점착제 잔유물이 남아있어 불안정했고, PTDI는 점착제 잔유물이 전혀 없이 안정성이 우수하였다.
