Biobased Itaconate Acrylic Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives via Emulsion Polymerization: Sustainable Design for High Peel Resistance.

ABSTRACT: Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are widely used materials, yet most of their raw materials are currently derived from nonrenewable petroleum resources. The PSA industry faces challenges including the depletion of petroleum resources, high solvent emissions, and carbon-intensive manufacturing processes. To address these issues, a series of poly-(dibutyl itaconate-co-butyl acrylate-co-acrylic acid-co-glycidyl methacrylate) (PDBAG) copolymers were synthesized via high-temperature semicontinuous emulsion polymerization, using fully biobased dibutyl itaconate (DBI) as a monomer. The structures and properties of PDBAG with varying DBI and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) contents were systematically characterized. An optimal balance between adhesion and cohesion was achieved
