Abstract Rubber-styrene block copolymers are materials such as the A-B-A type block copolymers, where A represents a block of polystyrene and B represents a rubber block, usually polybutadiene, polyisoprene or an olefin rubber. Because polymers of this type form a physically crosslinked network structure, the polymers are thermoplastic as well as being strong and rubbery. Because of their unique structure, block copolymers are well suited for use in a wide variety of adhesives. Block copolymers can be formulated with resins, plasticizers, and fillers to meet performance requirements ranging from those of a soft, tacky pressure-sensitive adhesive to those of a stiff, high strength construction or assembly adhesive. Adhesives based on the block copolymers can be mixed and applied, either in solvent or as hot melts, using standard processing equipment. Research is continuing on block copolymer technology, formulating technology, and processing technology which should further expand the applications of block copolymers in adhesives.

This study investigated the addition of acrylic fiber to old corrugated container (OCC) pulp as a possible means of overcoming adverse effects of water-based pressure sensitive adhesives during manufacture of paper or paperboard. Such adhesives can constitute a main source of stickies, which hurt the efficiency of the papermaking process and make tacky spots in the product. The highest amount of acrylic fiber added to recycled pulps generally resulted in a 77% reduction in accepted pulp microstickies. The addition of acrylic fibers also increased pulp freeness, tear index, burst strength, and breaking length, though there was a reduction in screen yield. Hence, in addition to controlling the adverse effects of stickies, the addition of acrylic fibers resulted in the improvement of the mechanical properties of paper compared with a control sample.
