Abstract
Abstract A novel adhesive formed in situ in a microcapsule and method for forming such a pressure sensitive or flowable adhesive in situ in a microcapsule is disclosed. The method for forming the novel adhesive comprises providing an aqueous mixture of wall material in water; adding a substantially water insoluble core material, free radical initiator, and a solvent for the pre-polymers to the aqueous mixture. The core material comprises a first addition polymerizable pre-polymer having a Tg of less than about 0° C., a flash point of at least 75° C., and a boiling point of at least 175° C. These are typically selected from acrylate or methacrylate type materials. Optionally included is a second addition polymerizable pre-polymer for providing cross-linking or interaction between polymer chains. High shear agitation is provided to the aqueous mixture to achieve a particle size of about 0.1 to 250 microns. Stirring at a first temperature effects capsule wall formation; and heating to a second temperature polymerizes the pre-polymers of the core material to form an adhesive in situ in the formed capsules.

A method of forming an adhesive in situ in a microcapsule comprising: providing an aqueous mixture containing a colloidal dispersion of hydrophillic wallforming material for forming microcapsules, adding a substantially water insoluble adhesive-forming core material, said core material comprising at least a first addition polymerizable pre-polymer material whose homopolymer has a Tg of less than about 0° C., a flash point of at least 75° C., and a boiling point of at least 175° C., and said adhesive-forming core material including in addition a second substantially water insoluble polymerizable pre-polymer which is substantially water insoluble and having polar groups for purposes of hydrogen bonding with the first addition polymerizable pre-polymer, said second substantially water insoluble polymerizable pre-polymer selected from the group consisting of butyl diethyleneglycol methacrylate, 2-methoxyethyl acrylate, 2-ethoxyethyl methacrylate, butyl diglycol methacrylate, t-butylaminoethyl methacrylate, 2-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl ethyl) methacrylate, tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate, tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate, 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate, 2-phenoxyethyl methacrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, caprolactone acrylate; ethoxylated nonyl phenol acrylate, ethoxylated hydroxyethyl methacrylate, alkoxylated tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate, ethoxylated nonyl phenol methacrylate, alkoxylated nonyl phenol acrylate, 2-acryloxy--1- methylethoxy -o- phthalic acid, and 2- acryloxy -1- methylethoxy -o- dihydro - (3,6) - phthalic acid; and adding a catalytically effective amount of a substantially water insoluble free radical initiator to the aqueous mixture, said free radical initiator having a half-life of at east 1 hour at 25° C., said free radical initiator being soluble in the polymerizable pre-polymer material and solvent; providing high shear agitation to the aqueous mixture to achieve a particle size of the core material of less than about 250 μ; stirring at a first temperature to effect microcapsule wall formation of microcapsule wall-forming material; and heating to a second temperature to polymerize the pre-polymer of the core material to form an adhesive in situ in the formed microcapsules.
