Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) have applications in the assembly of machine parts, coding, labeling, and packaging, electronic circuits, medicinal and pharmaceutical applications among others. The second edition features revisions that bring the reader 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.
