A toolbox approach to adhesive design

A strategy for the design of adhesives is proposed which uses knowledge of polymer-surface interactions and block copolymer behaviour, giving target molecules which can build in compatibility with normally incompatible substrates and giving maximum tack at the temperature of use. The synthesis of th...

Description
Summary:A strategy for the design of adhesives is proposed which uses knowledge of polymer-surface interactions and block copolymer behaviour, giving target molecules which can build in compatibility with normally incompatible substrates and giving maximum tack at the temperature of use. The synthesis of these adhesives is carried out by a relatively simple procedure, which makes use of the existing chemistry of polyurethanes and associated technology from the polyurethane industry.
