Abstract:

An acrylic copolymer, with PEG branches intercalated in the gallery of sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT), was applied as a modifier of reactive hot melt polyurethane adhesive (RHA). The adhesion properties showed that the acrylic copolymer can effectively improve the initial bond strength and reduce the set time of RHA. The effects of the acrylic copolymer on the rheological and tensile properties of RHA were also examined.
