The miscibility between acrylic copolymers and tackifier resins influenced on adhesion properties of PSA. PSA with high molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution of acrylic copolymers showed systemical modification of adhesion properties of PSA by tackifier resins only in case of miscible system. It is concluded that the investigation of the miscibility between two Components is very important to adhesion properties of PSA.

Acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are used in various field of high-technology industries such as semiconductor, display, mobile, automobile, and so on. Because of they have high durabilities and can be easily introduced functional groups in their molecular structures. PSA perfomances has an effect on their applications in industry process operation, reliability of final products. In this study, PSA performances as a function of fim thickness which is one of the impact factors effects on PSA performances will be investigated using combinatorial methods. Acrylic PSAs are synthesized using 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and acrylic acid. Thickness-gradient of acrylic PSA sample is made by a micro applicator. We compare general coating method with thickness-gradient coating method and evaluate the reappearance of combinatorial methods compared with existing coating method. Thickness-gradient of acrylic PSA sample shows rough and broad data tendency.

A series of aluminum acetylacetonate (AlACA) belonging in inorganic chelate calculating with the ratio of -COOH mole in PSA (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) and a series of PSA with different acrylic acid contents (3 wt%, 7 wt%, 10 wt%) were blended and measured gel contents, probe tack, peel strength, SAFT. With the increasing of aluminum acetylacetonate contents, the network structure was formed and gel contents were increased. Probe tack fibrillation and peel strength were decreased following the addition of aluminum acetylacetonate. SAFT were significantly changed with the change of acrylic acid contents in PSA. From these results, aluminum acetylacetonate could be used in the range of which would not change the performance a lot, and cure the PSA.

2-Ethylhexyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate were polymerized to synthesize acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). Alumina and graphite as a filler were added to acrylic PSA to give thermal conductivity. In case of addition of both graphite and alumina, the thermal conductivity of PSA was increased compared with alumina alone due to enhancement of contact between two fillers followed by increasing thermal path in PSA matrix.

Acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive(PSA) was prepared by UV radiation curing and the peel energy and physical properties of PSA were investigated. The increase of amount of acrylic acid leads to improve the peel energy, associated with the substrate having smooth surface and high layer thickness. The high peel energy is obtained when the direction of irregularity in substrate is horizontal with the peeling direction. This is attributed to the increase of resistance to peeling in spite of decrease of wetting and the result corresponds to our supposition.

Acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes were used for the automotive, the electrical and the electronic industries and the display module junction. In this study, the manufacture of high-strength structural tape used 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) and acrylic acid (AAC), and UV irradiation for photo-polymerization, and the semi-structural properties of acrylic PSA tape with the AAC content and inorganic filler $SiO_2$ content were investigated. The initial adhesion strength was lowered by the rigidity of molecule chains due to the use of AAC, and the adhesion strength increased with increasing wetting time. The wetability, contact angle, and SEM images of PSA tapes with various contents of AAC were determined. Without filler, the peel strength and dynamic shear strength of PSA tape showed inverse correlation but the peel strength and dynamic shear strength increased with increasing filler content. From these correlations the PSA tapes could be optimized for the applications requiring high performance.

"Tack" is defined as "the property that enables an adhesive to form a bond with the surface of another material upon brief contact under light pressure". The tack depends on a number of experimental parameters. We can control various experimental factors (contact force, dwell time, pretest speed) using probe tack tester. We are here concerned with pretest speed of experimental factors using SIS-based hotmelt PSA and water-borne acrylic PSA.

Solution type pressure sensitive acrylic adhesives were synthesized from 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) as a base monomer and acrylic acid as a functional monomer. The surface energy and basic physical properties of synthesized PSA (pressure sensitive adhesives) were investigated as a function of contents of acrylic acid and crosslinking agent. The structures of adhesive were identified by FTIR. Viscosities and molecular weights of PSA were measured by a Brookfield viscometer and GPC, respectively. Consequently, molecular weight and viscosity increased as the contents of acrylic acid increased up to 6 wt% and then decreased at higher contents. Surface energy increased as the contents of acrylic acid increased owing to the increase of COOH groups, which yielded the enhancement of polarity of PSA. On the other hands, their peel strengths were inversely proportional to molecular weight and showed tendencies of decreasing as the contents of acrylic acid and crosslinking agent increased.

In this study, solvent-free pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) using acrylic copolymer was prepared by UV radiation to investigate the effect of comonomer on the adhesion properties. Adhesive force value of PSA was increased with the amount of comonomer having shorter side chain due to the enhanced intrinsic surface energy. Peel and shear strength were also influenced by chemical properties of comonomer. The addition of comonomer, ethyl and n-butyl acrylate allows PSA sample with high peel and shear strength. This nay be explained in terms of correlation between loss modulus and glass transition temperature of PSA. As the addition of acrylic comonomers with long side chain length decreases the loss modulus of PSA, the deformation of PSA can not be inhibited.

Transparent acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) were successfully prepared by photopolymerization with 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (2-HEA) as a default constituent and with isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) and N-(isobutoxymethyl)acrylamide (IBMA) as a variable constituent. The IBMA mole fraction effect in the acrylic PSAs was investigated on adhesion performances and the optical properties including 85/85 test as well as the characteristics (solid content, and molecular weight) of the PSA syrups were also investigated. Regardless increasing the IBMA mole fraction in the acrylic PSAs, the acrylic PSAs exhibited almost the same adhesion performance such as $180^{\circ}$ peel strength (~4.0 kg/25 mm) and probe tack (~0.27 kg). All the acrylic PSA samples also showed high transmittance (more than 91%), low haze (less than 1.0%) and low color-difference (less than 1.0) before and after 85/85 test.
