A method for making a water-based adhesive composition is disclosed. The method comprises dispersing at least one unsaturated monomer and at least one surfactant in an aqueous medium to form an emulsified mixture. The method further comprises introducing at least one initiator to the emulsified mixture, thereby polymerizing the at least one unsaturated monomer and forming an emulsion polymer. The method still further comprises introducing at least one polyol ester of a conjugated acid to the emulsion polymer upon completion of polymerization of the at least one unsaturated monomer. The conjugated acid may be derived from a naturally-occurring dry oil, such as tung oil. There is still further provided a pressure sensitive adhesive comprising the composition prepared according to the disclosed method.

The present invention relates to a curable petroleum resin, a preparation method therefor, and use thereof, wherein the curable petroleum resin comprises a repeating unit derived from a petroleum resin monomer, a repeating unit derived from a silane monomer and a repeating unit derived from a cyclic anhydride monomer, and wherein the curable petroleum resin is used as an additive for a reactive polyolefin-based adhesive composition to increase the adhesive strength to a polyolefin-based substrate used for various parts.
