Pressure sensitive adhesives are described which comprise a composition of (i) one or more rubber components, (ii) one or more (meth)acrylate monomer(s), and (iii) free radical initiators. In some aspects, the rubber component is selected from the group consisting of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, polyisobutylene rubber, farnesene compound, and combinations thereof. Also described are articles including the pressure sensitive adhesives and methods of forming the pressure sensitive adhesives.

An adhesive composition comprises a copolymer dispersion prepared by a free radical emulsion polymerization process, in which a first monomer composition comprising from 60 weight percent to 95 weight percent of at least one vinyl ester of a C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 carboxylic acid, and from 5 weight percent to 40 weight percent ethylene is polymerized in a first stage to produce a first polymer phase having a glass transition temperature T.sub.g less or equal than 30 C. A second, different monomer composition comprising from 5 weight percent to 95 weight percent of at least one vinyl ester of a C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 carboxylic acid and from 5 weight percent to 95 weight percent 2-ethylhexyl acrylate is then polymerized in a second stage, and in the presence of the first polymer phase, to produce a second polymer phase also having a glass transition temperature T.sub.g less than or equal to 30 C.

In an example, a process includes polymerizing a mixture that includes an ethylene monomer, a propylene monomer, and a diene monomer to form an ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymer using ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The process further includes chemically reacting the EPDM terpolymer with a norbornene-based phosphinate cross-linking material to form a flame-retardant, cross-linked EPDM rubber.

A method of producing a silane cross-linked polyethylene is disclosed which includes maleating a polyethylene polymer to form a maleated polyethylene and reacting the maleated polyethylene with a primary or secondary amino silane to form a silane-grafted polyethylene. The method further includes treating the silane-grafted polyethylene in a moisture curing process to form the silane cross-linked polyethylene.
