Impact of Elasticity on Surface Wetting
We have recently characterised a surface wetting transition for a low molecular weight oligomer in a high molecular weight rubbery polymer. Although weak surface segregation of... -
A Model for Tackifier Elastomer Interaction
Oligomers are commonly added to adhesives in order to improve surface tack properties. However, it is also important that the oligomers do not adversely affect the solid (glassy...
