Conference Ink Bonding Properties of Electron Beam Cured Adhesive Laminates for Flexible Packaging

S.C. Lapin

The advantages of Elecron Beam (EB) laminating adhesives haven been previously descibed. The most significant adveantage is that full bond strength is archieves immediately upon curing. This allows immediate slitting and shipping of the laminated product.

Initiating Radicals: Generation, Detection and Reactivity

Free radical polymerization is largely encountered in the Radiation Curing area (e.g. [1]). the photoinitiation step efficiency is largely gocerned by the quantum yield of the produces initiating radical R' that photoinitiator PI, and the chemical reactivity of these radicals.

Influence of Photoinitiator's Architecture on the Shrinkage of Acrylic PSA

R. Milker, M. Wesolowska

This paper presents a new class of saturated and unsaturated photoinitiators, with different structures, containing benzophenone groups, and describes their influence on the shrinkage of solvent-based acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) coated on PVC film, after UV crosslinking.

Real-Time Monitoring of Ultrafast Curing by UV-Radiation and Laser Beams

C. Decker and K. Moussa

An original technique, real-time infrared (RTIR) spectroscopy, has been developed to analyse in situ UV curing reactions occurring in a fraction of a second. Cure profiles were directly recorded and the important kinetic parameters were determined quantitatively.

The Mechanism of E.B. Curing of Thin Films

R Stephen Davidson and Susan A Wilkinson, 1989 Conference

It has been shown that e.b. curing of acrylates occurs via the attachment of slow electrons to the acrylate groups which ubsequently give radical species leading to polymerisation. For poxy oligomers to be cured by .
