Multi-scale Dynamics in Debonding Process of Pressure-sensitive Adhesives

Abstract

We discuss the multi-scale dynamics of pressure-sensitive adhesives during debonding. We first show our experimental results on double-sided adhesive tapes as an example, and then introduce our theoretical or numerical models to explain the observed behavior. Through this paper, we will stress that the connection between different scales is important for describing complex mechanical behavior in pressure-sensitive adhesives.
