Dynamic tensile test

This article will examine the use of a new method to measure creep resistance of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). To prove validity, the new method is directly compared to die face-to-face shear test. In this comparison, the new method delivers test results in less time with less variability and higher reproducibility than the face-to-face test. An analysis of the data presented in the report yields an R2 adjusted correlation of 77.2 percent between the nvo tests for all tape sample test values and 91.0 percent for those samples with face-to-face shear values greater than 100 minutes.
