International Classification:

C08F 220/18
B05D 1/26

Abstract:

Adhesive compositions that are optically transparent include a (meth)acrylate-based copolymer having a refractive index of at least 1.48, and particles of a thermoplastic polymer. At least some of the particles have an average particle size that is larger than the wavelength of visible light. The adhesive compositions are prepared by hot melt processing packaged adhesive compositions.

Filed:

Nov 25, 2014

Appl. No.:

15/100371

Inventors:

- Saint Paul MN, US
Margot A. Branigan - Roseville MN, US
Craig E. Hamer - Woodbury MN, US
Ross E. Behling - Woodbury MN, US
Thomas E. Augustine - Hager City WI, US
Karl E. Benson - St. Paul MN, US

International Classification:

C09J 133/06
C23C 14/02

Abstract:

Optically clear adhesive compositions contain an elastomeric polymer and a low molecular weight polymeric additive. The elastomeric polymer and the low molecular weight polymeric additive form an acid-base interaction. The refractive index of the adhesive composition is higher than the refractive index of the elastomeric polymer. The adhesive composition may also contain additional domains of liquids, polymers, additives or particles that have a higher refractive index than the elastomeric polymer.
