Thesis Title: Design of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives using Miniemulsion Polymerization
Dr. Marc A. Dubé
Dr. Timothy F.L. McKenna
About
In order to support the global demand for greener technologies, miniemulsion polymerization, as an alternative to the conventional emulsion polymerization, was used to produce pressure-sensitive adhesives. The key advantage that miniemulsion polymerization offers is its compartmentalized nature, which serves as a means to create in-situ populations of polymer particles with different properties. The main objective of this thesis was to create an adequately stabilized miniemulsion to create bimodal distributions of particle size or molecular weight that enable us to tailor latexes for different PSA applications.
