Abstract
Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is a crucial functional monomer in acrylate adhesives. A series of waterborne acrylate adhesives with varying HEMA contents were synthesized and evaluated based on their viscosity, particle size, and peel strength. The particle size of the emulsion remained consistent around 200 nm across different HEMA contents, suggesting minimal impact from HEMA. The emulsion with 0.5 wt% HEMA exhibited a viscosity of 42.44 mPa s, indicating excellent fluidity. Rheological tests showed that HEMA increased the cohesive energy of the adhesive, with 0.5 wt% HEMA demonstrating optimum chain flexibility and elasticity in the latex film. On a biaxial oriented polypropylene (BOPP) substrate, the adhesive with 0.5 wt% HEMA achieved the highest adhesive strength of 2.96 N/25 mm, attributed to its superior wetting ability and chain flexibility, meeting the requirements for BOPP film adhesion.
