Abstract

AbstractThe thermal stability and adhesion properties, such as lap‐shear strength of hot‐melt adhesives were obtained from amorphous poly(α‐olefins) and thermoplastic rubber [styrene–ethylene–butylene copolymer (SEBS)] blends. The addition of SEBS increased the toughness and viscosity and decreased the lap‐shear strength of the hot‐melt adhesive. Terpene tackifier resin offered enhanced lap‐shear strength; this was more effective when combined tackifier resin was added on the hot‐melt adhesive. Only a small amount of wax and antioxidant affected the thermal stability and lap‐shear strength of the hot‐melt adhesive. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012
