Environment-Friendly Acrylic Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs) with Improved Antistatic Property

A series of acrylic PSAs were synthesized by pre-emulsion addition method and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopies. Electrical and mechanical properties of antistatic waterborne acrylic PSAs containing electrically conductive fillers were investigated in this paper depending on the component of monomers, reactive emulsifiers, and the type of conductive fillers. PSA synthesized by reactive emulsifier showed higher physical properties and its composite with 1wt% of conductive fillers showed good dispersity with optimal peel strength.
