Pressure-Sensitive Design and Formulation, Application (Volume 2)

Pressure-Sensitive Design and Formulation, Application (Volume 2) – 1st Edition
Author: Istvan Benedek

This volume serves as the practical companion to Pressure-Sensitive Design – Theoretical Aspects (Volume 1), offering a detailed and application-oriented approach to designing and formulating modern pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs).

As interest in PSA technology continues to expand, this second volume focuses on practical formulation strategies, product engineering, and industrial application techniques. It translates the theoretical foundation of macromolecular chemistry, polymer physics, rheology, and contact mechanics into real-world manufacturing and performance solutions.

Covering a broad range of PSA systems, coating technologies, and advanced materials, the book highlights the latest innovations in in-line coating, polymer synthesis, and product integration—crucial areas for the fast-growing market where pressure-sensitive products with and without adhesives compete.
