Effect of surface segmental mobility on adhesion of acrylate soft films

Abstract

"The adhesion in thin-film poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) - tape systems was determined. From 90⁰ peel tests of thin PMA films adsorbed on glass slides, it was found that the peel velocities varied linearly with applied force and force-velocity curves were dependent on film thickness. It was also observed that the molecular mass and silica content in the films affected the adhesion in thin PMA films"--Abstract, page iii.
