Rheology or dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) has been widely used to study the correlation of viscoelasticity and pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) properties, such as peel, tack and holding power, since 1980s. Almost all polymers including PSAs are viscoelastic materials possessing both viscous (energy dissipation) and elastic (energy storage) behaviors. These behaviors can be easily determined… Read Article>>
