An adhesive composition is described comprising a polyisobutylene polymer component; and up to 30 wt.-% of at least one aliphatic multifunctional component comprising at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups selected from (meth)acryl or vinyl ether. The monomer comprises a hydrocarbon moiety with greater than 12 contiguous carbon atoms. When the hydrocarbon moiety is branched, the hydrocarbon moiety comprises side chains with at least two carbon atoms. The aliphatic multifunctional component is sufficiently compatible such that crosslinked adhesive composition at a thickness of 20 microns has a haze of less than 3%. Also described are adhesive articles.

Polyisobutylene adhesive comprising multifunctional component with (meth)acryl or vinyl ether groups

A composition is described comprising a styrene-isobutylene block copolymer; and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer. After curing the composition comprises polymerized units of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer. In some embodiments the ethylenically unsaturated groups are selected from (meth)acryl or vinyl ether. The composition is suitable for use as a (e.g. pressure sensitive) adhesive. Articles, methods of making an article, and methods of bonding are also described.

Composition comprising styrene isobutylene block copolymer and ethylenically unsaturated monomer

Provided is a barrier adhesive composition comprises polyisobutylene resin, organically modified nanoclay (e.g. montmorillonite or bentonite) and sorbent nanoparticles (e.g. CaO which acts as a desiccant and/or getter). In a preferred embodiment, the barrier adhesive composition is disposed on a gas-barrier film to form an adhesive barrier film. The adhesive barrier film can then be used for protection from oxygen and moisture in OLED displays and solid state lightings, solar cells, electrophoretic and electrochromic displays thin film batteries, quantum dot devices, sensors (e.g. touch sensor) and other organic electronic devices. The adhesive barrier film is especially well-suited for applications that require oxygen and moisture protection as well flexibility and good optical transmittance.

A barrier adhesive composition comprises polyisobutylene resin, hydrophobic nanoparticles and sorbent nanoparticles.

A barrier adhesive composition comprising a resin system and organically modified nanoclay. The resin system comprises (a) a first polyisobutylene resin having a viscosity average molecular weight of about 300,000 to about 500,000 g/mol, (b) a second polyisobutylene resin having a viscosity average molecular of about 700,000 to about 900,000 g/mol and (c) tackifier.

Nanoclay filled barrier adhesive compositions

A barrier film construction comprises an ultra-barrier film and a barrier adhesive. The adhesive layer comprises a barrier adhesive composition comprising a resin system and organically modified nanoclay; wherein the resin system comprises a first polyisobutylene resin having a viscosity average molecular weight of about 100,000 to about 1,200,000 g/mol and tackifier.
