Abstract
Abstract A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing as a polymer component an addition-polymerization polymer of an acryl-based polymer having sticking properties at room temperature and one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers capable of forming a homo- or co-polymer having a glass transition point of at least 273° K.; the addition-polymerization polymer is prepared by polymerizing one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of the acryl-based polymer; the present pressure-sensitive adhesive composition has high adhesive strength and cohesive strength.
