Deve Pres Sens Prdts 2e (Hardcover)

Product Description
Bridging the gap between concepts and application, Developments in Pressure-Sensitive Products, Second Edition emphasizes the interaction between pressure-sensitive adhesion and the manufacture of self-adhesive products. It also covers products based on pressure-sensitive adhesives and adhesiveless products. The second edition includes new material on the relationship of pressure-sensitive adhesion, the characteristics of molecular mobility, and the cohesive strength of PSA polymers. It also features new information on radiation curing technology, pressure-sensitive hydrogels, and application-related formulations.

From the Back Cover
Since the first groundbreaking edition of Developments in Pressure-Sensitive Products was introduced in 1998, heavy research has resulted in substantial progress in the field. Fully updated and expanded to reflect this activity, Developments in Pressure-Sensitive Products, Second Edition provides a detailed overview of the entire range of pressure-sensitive products, both with and without adhesives. It explores the principles behind their design and manufacture along with a variety of applications in medicine, electronics, packaging, and protection.

The book establishes the link between underlying theory and practical applications, exploring the physical, molecular, and chemical bases of PSPs while describing the manufacturing processes, end uses, and economic issues involved. This edition includes three new chapters: the first of these explains the new theory of pressure sensitivity considered as a process, illustrating the principles of polymer science governing PSP technology; the second discusses the crosslinking of acrylics, the most important domain in specialized products; and the third presents the latest developments in products based on plastomers, such as hydrogels. Additional coverage includes biological applications of PSPs, engineering problems of coating equipment, web finishing for plastic films, and confectioning.

Offering cutting-edge information from the frontiers of research and industry, Developments in Pressure-Sensitive Products, Second Edition is an ideal reference to all aspects of pressure-sensitive technologies and materials.
