UV-curing behaviour and adhesion performance of polymer photo initiators blended with hydrogenated rosin epoxy methacrylate for UV-crosslinkable acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives

摘要

There is much interest in developing UV-curable materials from bio-renewable sources. This paper describes the conversion of a hydrogenated rosin into an epoxy methacrylate which is used as a component (a tackifier resin) in a formulation used to produce pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs).
