Curing Properties of UV-Cured Pressure Sensitive Adhesives

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study the effect of trimethylopropane triacrylate (TMPTA) content as a crosslinking agent on curing properties of UV-cured pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) was investigated. The curing properties were studied using gel fraction determination, photo-differential scanning calorimetry (photo-DSC) and Fourier transform infraredattenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy. Gel fraction sharply increased after expose to UV irradiation and increased with increasing TMPTA content. Moreover, the addition of TMPTA as crosslinking agent induced an earlier onset of auto acceleration and relative concentration of the C=C was not zero because they were trapped in the PSAs network.
