Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives and Applications

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) have applications in medicine, pharmaceutical application, electronic circuits, assembly of machine parts, coding, labeling, and packaging, among others. This second edition of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives and Applications features revisions that keep it up to date on the latest developments in the field. The author combines the theoretical basis of pressure sensitivity with the practical aspects of manufacturing, testing, and use of PSAs. The book offers a comparative look at the engineering of plastics, adhesives, and pressure-sensitives, an indispensable reference for adhesive and polymer chemists and technologists.
