Abstract:

This chapter will focus on the application of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) in pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs). The key properties of PSAs, including loop tack, peel strength and shear strength, will be described briefly and studies into the various factors governing them, such as coating thickness, the types of tackifier and filler used, the molecular weight of the ENR and the rate of testing will be examined. The end of the chapter highlights future trends and opportunities for ENR-based PSAs.

Key words

• epoxidized natural rubber
