Abstract

To improve the thermal stability of general acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was used and UV curing was employed. Silicone urethane methacrylate (SiUMA) was synthesized and introduced into acrylic PSAs for a semi-interpenetrating polymer network structure. The structure of the SiUMA was investigated through C NMR, H NMR, and FT-IR. The kinetics and behaviors of SiUMA (S1) were found by adding photoinitiators (PI) of 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 10 phr in a binder, which were examined using the photo-DSC (pDSC). After setting PI as 5.0 phr in a binder and UV intensity as 1000 mJ/cm2, the SiUMA, which was prepared by a radical polymerization, was added to acrylic PSA to 20, 40, 60, and 80% composition, and its kinetics and behaviors were analyzed by pDSC. Finally, the peel strength was checked to evaluate adhesion performance of the acrylic PSAs. The reaction rate was increased with increasing amounts of S1 and PI. Peel strength was dropped sharply with increasing crosslinking density.
