Abstract
AbstractGlucosyloxyethyl methacrylate (GEMA) was copolymerized with butyl acrylate (BA) for the preparation of a biomedical pressure‐sensitive adhesive with pendant monosaccharides, for possible use in medical applications. The measurements of 180° peel strength, ball tack, and holding power for the GEMA–BA copolymer films revealed that the film at the GEMA content of 5 mol % has excellent pressure‐sensitive adhesive properties. Protein adsorption onto the GEMA–BA copolymer film hardly occurred due to very low interfacial free energy between its surface and water. Release profiles of vitamin B12 from the GEMA–BA copolymer film suggests that it is useful as a material for a transdermal therapeutic system. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
