Abstract
Acrylic adhesives show high stability towards atmospheric agents and degradation resistance. On the other hand they have low adhesion for low energy surfaces (non-polar thermoplastics: polyethylene, polypropylene etc.). Pressure sensitive adhesives based on hybrid acrylic polymers could eliminate these drawbacks by combining the performances of classical acrylic adhesive with those of elastomeric adhesives. This work is focused on the study regarding the performances of pressure sensitive adhesives based on hybrid acrylic polymers. Peel strength, shear strength and tensile strength are also determined. Keywords: acrylic adhesives, pressure sensitive adhesives, acrylic saturated rubber, hybrid pressure sensitive adhesives
