This monograph aims to give a comprehensive and detailed review of
general results, which have been obtained in a special segment of
the design and manufacture of pressure-sensitive products, known as
formulation. For manufacturers of pressure-sensitive products and
product components, formulation probably includes the main part of
their proprietary know-how. The scientific basis of formulation,
explaining the reasons behind certain mixing and processing
technologies, is doubtless more important than a collection of
compositional data and technical parameters. This volume collects
technical and scientific materials concerning the most important
theoretical and practical aspects of the formulation of
pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Based on the author's industrial and scientific experience, this
treatise constitutes a theoretical and practical state-of-the-art
monograph on the formulation of pressure-sensitive products. It is
a practical guide for those who want to study, manufacture or use
pressure sensitive products or their components, as well as for
suppliers of adhesives, elastomers, plastics and additives, or
manufacturing equipment.
This book will be of value and interest to production and
manufacturing managers, production engineers, materials scientists,
chemists and new product specialists involved in the production or
application of pressure-sensitive products.
Since the first groundbreaking edition of Developments in
Pressure-Sensitive Products was introduced in 1998, heavy research
has resulted in substantial progress in the field. Fully updated
and expanded to reflect this activity, Developments in
Pressure-Sensitive Products, Second Edition provides a detailed
overview of the entire range of pressure-sensitive products, both
with and without adhesives. It explores the principles behind their
design and manufacture along with a variety of applications in
medicine, electronics, packaging, and protection. The book
establishes the link between underlying theory and practical
applications, exploring the physical, molecular, and chemical bases
of PSPs while describing the manufacturing processes, end uses, and
economic issues involved. This edition includes three new chapters:
the first of these explains the new theory of pressure sensitivity
considered as a process, illustrating the principles of polymer
science governing PSP technology; the second discusses the
crosslinking of acrylics, the most important domain in specialized
products; and the third presents the latest developments in
products based on plastomers, such as hydrogels. Additional
coverage includes biological applications of PSPs, engineering
problems of coating equipment, web finishing for plastic films, and
confectioning. Offering cutting-edge information from the frontiers
of research and industry, Developments in Pressure-Sensitive
Products, Second Edition is an ideal reference to all aspects of
pressure-sensitive technologies and materials.
Presenting the end-use and application technologies of
pressure-sensitive adhesives and products, Volume Three of the
Handbook of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives and Products discusses the
build up and classes of pressure-sensitive products, the main
representatives of pressure-sensitive products, and their
application domains. It divides the main product classes of
solvent-based, water-based, and hot-melt-based formulations by
their debonding characteristics and water and temperature
resistance, and illustrates build-up by adhesive-coated,
adhesiveless, carrierless, and linerless pressure-sensitive
products. It presents application technology, equipment, and novel
products such as RFID, medical, and labels, as well as the
self-adhesive competitors of pressure-sensitive products. It also
lists professional organizations and suppliers, along with the main
literature sources.

Discussing the definition of pressure sensitivity and
characterization of pressure-sensitive behavior, Volume 1 of the
"Handbook of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives and Products" presents
the underlying theory behind the main criteria of pressure
sensitivity, including Dahlquist criterion, free volume theory, and
fibrillation theory, and the pressure-sensitive performance
characteristics defined by tack, peel resistance, and shear
resistance. It describes the chemical and macromolecular basis of
pressure sensitivity as determined by molecular mobility and its
parameters and molecular structure and its regulation. The book
also addresses the physical and mechanical basis of pressure
sensitivity along with the mechanical properties of
pressure-sensitive adhesives and products that correlate to their
adhesive, converting, and end-use performance characteristics.
Discussing the manufacture technology of pressure-sensitive
adhesive and products, Volume 2 of the "Handbook of
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives and Products" includes the synthesis
of pressure-sensitive raw materials and the design and formulation
of pressure-sensitive adhesives. Taking into account monomers,
polymerization methods, and polymerization technology, it addresses
the offline and inline synthesis of pressure-sensitive raw
materials and adhesives. The book describes the main formulation
components, along with important chemical and technological
additives, and considers the role of formulation as it correlates
to formulation technology and equipment. It also highlights the
components and build-up of pressure-sensitive products, including
the equipment and methods involved in coating, converting, and
confectionating.
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives and Applications, Second Edition
explains how pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) work, why they are
used, and the technology used to manufacture them. This second
edition features the latest developments in the field. Dr. Benedek
discusses the factors that affect the rheology and special flow
characteristics responsible for the adhesivity of liquid and solid
PSAs. His book explores the viscoelastic behavior of PSAs, and
compares them to plastics, rubbers, and polymers properties and
examines the parameters that influence the conversion process of
PSAs from the coating of carrier materials to the properties of the
final laminate. The author covers adhesion/cohesion balance,
time-temperature dependence of pressure sensitivity, chemical
composition, coating properties, and coating processes affect the
adhesive properties of PSA and their end products and how
application-specific performance indices are used to determine the
formulation and manufacture of raw materials. In addition,
up-to-date coating machines, converting technology, and
environmental considerations in the manufacture of PSA final
products as well as industry-specific methods of testing for
quality assurance and control are discussed. Pressure-Sensitive
Adhesives and Applications, Second Edition combines the theoretical
basis of pressure sensitivity with the practical aspects of
manufacturing, testing, and use of PSAs. Readers are offered an
exhaustive as well as comparative look at the engineering of
plastics, adhesives, and pressure-sensitives, resulting in an
indispensable, up-to-date reference for adhesive and polymer
chemists and technologists.
Divided into three sections that are also available as individual
volumes, this is the first reference to offer a complete guide to
the fundamentals, manufacturing, and applications of
pressure-sensitive adhesives and products. An indispensable source
of state-of-the-art information, this handbook covers the design
for pressure-sensitive adhesives and products, the manufacture
technology and equipment for such products, including their testing
and application, and the theory and practice that correlate with
the main domains of product development. Topically organized, it
presents a comprehensive list of terms and definitions and offers a
cross-disciplinary look at pressure-sensitive adhesives, spanning
such areas as physics, surface chemistry, electronic materials,
automotive engineering, packaging, and the biomedical, tape, and
label industries. For more complete information on each volume

Fundamentals of Pressure Sensitivity Volume 2: Technology of
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives and Products Volume 3: Applications of
Pressure-Sensitive Products
Growing interest in the formulation of pressure-sensitive adhesives
as described in the first edition of this book ( Pressure-Sensitive
Formulation, VSP, 2000) required a new, enlarged edition including
the design of pressure-sensitive adhesives as a separate volume.
Developments in the understanding of pressure sensitivity were
necessary to use macromolecular chemistry for pressure-sensitive
design. Such developments include polymer physics and contact
mechanics. Progress in coating technology, especially in in-line
coating- and synthesis, opened new ways for the design of
pressure-sensitive adhesives and products as well. Actually,
pressure-sensitive-products with and without adhesives compete
requiring a broad variety of material formulations and the
corresponding manufacturing technology. The first volume of the
book examines the theoretical aspects of pressure-sensitive design,
based on macromolecular chemistry, macromolecular physics, rheology
and contact mechanics. The second volume describes the practical
aspects of pressure-sensitive design and formulation, related to
product application. The advances in the various domains are
described by specialists.
