Abstract: Apparatuses for polymerizing or devolatilizing a composition, especially one of high melt viscosity, are disclosed. Methods of polymerizing and devolatilizing a composition, especially one of high melt viscosity, are also disclosed.

Abstract: Cure in place pressure sensitive adhesive compositions are described that comprise one or more of a bodying component, a structural diluent, a radical diluent as well as additives such as crosslinkers, external catalysts, photoinitiators and stabilizers/process aids. The bodying component can be acrylic or non-acrylic.

Abstract: Modification of functional groups along a polymer backbone to render the groups activatable upon exposure to actinic radiation is described. The polymers are typically controlled architecture polymers. Also described are adhesives containing the modified architectured polymers and related methods of use.

Abstract: Methods for forming melt processable, actinic radiation polymerizable and crosslinkable adhesives are described. In certain versions, the adhesives or pre-adhesive compositions include two initiators and are polymerized and/or crosslinked by exposure to actinic radiation such as UV light or electron beam radiation. Also described are pre-adhesive compositions including polymerizable monomers, articles including the adhesives, and various methods and systems related to the adhesives and their application. In addition, various apparatuses are described for polymerizing or crosslinking the compositions.

Abstract: Acrylic copolymers that include the controlled placement of particular functional groups within the polymer structure are provided. The copolymers comprise a first reactive segment of including a functional group selected from the group consisting of a UV active functional group, a reactive functional group, a non-reactive functional group, and combinations thereof and a second segment including a functional group selected from the group consisting of a reactive functional group, a non-reactive functional group, and combinations thereof. The acrylic copolymers are manufactured via a controlled radical polymerization process. The copolymers are useful in the manufacture of adhesives and elastomers.
