Novel method and apparatus for testing the rolling-tack of pressure-sensitive adhesive materials
A novel method and custom-made apparatus for testing the tack of pressure-sensitive adhesives and related materials were developed to simplify the measurement of bonding and debonding processes. Ease of execution and high reproducibility enable their use to study the experimental tack of adhesive materials.
