Improving High-Speed Separation of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives from Silicone Release Coatings by Varying Silica Functionality

Abstract Improving the separation efficacy of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) from their protective poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) release coatings at high speeds (>100 m/min) is crucial for industrial applications like labeling. In our past work, adding 1 wt % hydrophobic fum...
