Abstract: Described herein is an adhesive composite composition. The composition comprises: a plurality of polymeric microspheres dispersed within a (meth)acrylate-based matrix, wherein the polymeric microspheres are derived from 20-100 wt % of a (meth)acrylate monomer having a Tg above room temperature; and the (meth)acrylate-based matrix is derived from a C1 to C20 (meth)acrylate ester monomer and a (meth)acrylate macromer. In some embodiments, these composite adhesives show good impact resistance and good shear.

Abstract: A (meth)acrylate copolymer derived from a polymerizable composition containing a (meth)acrylate macromer, an adhesive composition that is a pressure-sensitive adhesive and that contains the (meth)acrylate copolymer, and an article containing the adhesive composition are provided. The articles may be, for example, an adhesive tape, an electronic device, or a flexible and/or foldable article. The articles advantageously can be used to in electronic devices that are foldable and/or flexible.
