Abstract: In the context of a polyacrylate-based composition, the intention is to allow controlled thermal crosslinking. This is accomplished by provision of a crosslinker-accelerator system for the thermal crosslinking of polyacrylates having functional groups suitable for entering into linking reactions with epoxide groups, comprising at least one substance comprising at least one epoxide group (crosslinker) and at least one substance conforming to the general formula (I) NR3??(I), in which the radicals R independently of one another are a hydrogen atom or an organic radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, with at least one of the radicals R being an organic radical with 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and comprising at least one alcoholic OH group.

Abstract: In the case of a liner for the protection of adhesives, the protective effect is to be enhanced in respect of permeates originating from the environment and also permeates included during winding or stacking and other processing steps. This enhancement is accomplished through provision of a liner which comprises at least one adhesive release layer and at least one layer of a getter material capable of sorbing at least one permeable substance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) which have high molar masses in combination with a narrow molar mass distribution, and also to PSAs, especially polyacrylate-based PSAs, prepared accordingly. It has been found that, surprisingly, polymers with high molar masses and a narrow molar mass distribution, more particularly polyacrylates with high molar masses and a narrow molar mass distribution, can be prepared outstandingly in particular by means of RAFT processes in the presence of a diradical initiator which undergoes thermal cyclization to form a diradical, these polymers being suitable for use as high-shear-strength PSAs.

Abstract: Process for preparing polyacrylates, by the free-radical polymerization of monomer mixtures comprising at least 70% by weight of at least one acrylic and/or methacrylic ester in the presence of amino acids as regulator substances, and reaction solution comprising one or more solvents and one or more monomers, at least 50% by weight of the solvents being organic solvents, and at least 70% by weight of the monomers being acrylic and/or methacrylic esters, with at least one amino acid being present.
