Abstract:
Acrylate-based oligomers having double-bond end-group-functionalization are produced by means of free-radical polymerization where, in a first step, a monomer mixture of an acrylate component and an aromatic component is reacted with use of a difunctional regulator, the molar quantity of monomer mixture to that of regulator being from 100:20 to 100:0.5 and the polymerization is continued until monomer conversion reaches at least 96%. In a second step, the resultant macromolecules are reacted, in the reactor in which the polymerization was conducted, with at least one compound Z which has a functional group and has an ethylenic doule bond, and at least that portion of the compound Z that contains the ethylenic double bond becomes linked to the macromolecules via reaction of one of the functional groups of the difunctional regulator with the functional group of the compound Z.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the radical polymerization for preparing a copolymer, using specific monomers A, which have a glass transition temperature Tg of at least 0° and specific monomers B, which contain an aromatic heterocyclic group that contain at least one nitrogen atom in the ring. The invention also relates to copolymers that are obtained by the radical polymerization, to the use of same as accelerators in a curing reagent for adhesive compounds, and to adhesive strips containing same.
Abstract:
Crosslinked pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) based on polymers of branched macromolecules each comprising a main chain and one or more sidechains pendent to the main chain, the constitutional units thereof originating from a) X wt % of one or more acrylic and/or methacrylic esters, with 80 =1000 g/mol, and the respective amounts of constitutional units originating from a), b) and c) can be the same in each case or differ by not more than 1%, and where a), b) and c) may in each case be the same or different monomers, have detachment properties which can be set independently of one another.
Abstract:
End-group-functionalized oligomers with controlled degrees of functionality based on styrene are produced by reacting the monomer with a regulator by means of free-radical polymerization. At least some of the quantity of regulator is added according to a prescribed program so that at every juncture t the value of the quantitative fraction added up to said juncture does not fall short of the value of the respective conversion U(t) in the polymerization reaction at said juncture t by more than 5 percentage points and does not exceed said value U(t) by more than 5 percentage points.
