ABSTRACT Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), or self-adhesives, are used in many applications, including safety labels for power equipment, automotive interior trim assembly, and sound/vibration–damping films. The objective of this study was to develop a biodegradable skim rubber–based bioadhesive blended with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which has the advantage of being biodegradable and biocompatible to humans. PSAs were produced from saponified low-protein skim rubber (S-LPSR) alone using a hydrocarbon resin as a tackifier and blends of S-LPSR/PVA containing tackifier, via solution and emulsion, respectively. The influence of 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) and the hydrocarbon resin content in the adhesive formulation was studied. Various methods were used to evaluate the properties of the adhesives produced including scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, contact angle measurement, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The optimal concentration of PVA for a good PSA was found to be 20 phr because of its emulsion form. The adhesion properties of a PSA containing 50–60 phr of hydrocarbon resin and 1% BHT displayed excellent tack and peel compared with other samples because there was no chain scission of the skim rubber and good compatibility and interaction between the S-LPSR/PVA blend and the hydrocarbon resin, which maximized the adhesion properties of the adhesive.

The impact of different amounts of glycerin, which was used in the system of sodium alginate/poly(vinyl alcohol) (SA/PVA) hydrogel materials on the properties, such as gel fraction, swelling ability, degradation in simulated body fluids, morphological analysis, and elongation tests were presented. The study shows a significant decrease in the gel fraction from 80.5 ± 2.1% to 45.0 ± 1.2% with the increase of glycerin content. The T5 values of the tested hydrogels were varied and range from 88.7 °C to 161.5 °C. The presence of glycerin in the matrices significantly decreased the thermal resistance, which was especially visible by T10 changes (273.9 to 163.5 °C). The degradation tests indicate that most of the tested materials do not degrade throughout the incubation period and maintain a constant ion level after 7-day incubation. The swelling abilities in distilled water and phosphate buffer solution are approximately 200–300%. However, we noticed that these values decrease with the increase in glycerin content. All tested matrices are characterized by the maximum elongation rate at break in a range of 37.6–69.5%. The FT-IR analysis exhibits glycerin changes in hydrogel structures, which is associated with the cross-linking reaction. Additionally, cytotoxicity results indicate good adhesion properties and no toxicity towards normal human dermal fibroblasts.
