Abstract

Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are generally considered as nonelectrically conductive materials. The electrical conductivity is incorporated into acrylic polymer after blending with electrical conductive additives like silver particles. After the addition of electrically conductive silver filler, the main and typical properties of PSAs such as tack, peel adhesion, and shear strength will decline. This study is the first trial which reveals that the acrylic self-adhesive basis must be synthesized with ameliorated initial performances like high tack and excellent adhesion. Currently, the electrically conductive solvent-borne acrylic PSA containing silver fillers are not commercially available on the market. They are promising materials which can be applied for the manufacturing of diverse technical or medical high performance self-adhesive products, such as broadest line of special electrically conductive sensitive tapes.
