(65) Test for Overlap Shear Strength (OLS)

(66) The OLS is tested according to ASTM 1002 as follows:

(67) wipe the aluminum strips (4 inch×1 inch×0.0625 inch) with isopropanol three times before testing;

(68) cutting the film sample having release film on both sides into 0.5 inch×1 inch;

(69) peeling off the release film on one side and pasting it onto one aluminum strip;

(70) peeling off the release film on the other side for UV irradiation (using a Fusion D lamp with a UVA of about 3000 mJ/cm.sup.2) and pasting the other aluminum strip onto the other side;

(71) post-curing the testing strips in a controlled-climate chamber (23° C./50% relative humidity) for 3 to 4 days for another test; or, curing the prepared strip in a drying oven at 80° C.° C. for 1 hour, then taking it out and measuring it after storing it in a controlled-climate chamber (23° C./50% relative humidity) for 1 day.

(72) For comparison, the OLS of the tape sample was tested without UV irradiation:

(73) wiping the aluminum strip (4 inch×1 inch×0.0625 inch) with isopropanol three times before testing;

(74) cutting the tape sample having release film on both sides into 0.5 inch×1 inch; peeling off the release film on one side and pasting it onto one aluminum strip;

(75) peeling off the release film on the other side, pasting the other aluminum strip onto the other side, curing the sample in a drying oven at 80° C. for 1 hour, then taking it out and measuring it after storing it in a controlled-climate chamber (23° C./50% relative humidity) for 1 day.

(76) The OLS was tested with a pulling force tester from Instron Company at a speed of 5.0 mm/min. Each test was repeated three times and the average in MPa was taken.

(105) For the film of Example E1, the OLS is 8.7 MPa after UV irradiation, and the film is cured at 80° C., while the OLS of the sample without UV irradiation is 0.94 MPa. As for Comparative Example C1 with no photobase generator or photosensitizer added, it is not cured and the OLS is low with or without UV irradiation. As for Comparative Example C2 with no epoxy resin added, Comparative Example C3 with no thiol added and Comparative Example C4 with no photobase added, even with UV irradiation, they are not cured and their OLS is low. As for Comparative Example C5 added with (meth)acryloyl monomer instead of (meth)acrylic copolymer, it has apparent shrink holes after coating. The preparation of the film was failed and the coated product has poor appearance, without initial adhesiveness and cannot be die-cut. As for Comparative Example C6 added with polyalcohol (pentaerythritol) instead of polyfunctional thiol, even with UV irradiation, it has low OLS and cannot achieve the technical effect of the present invention.

(143) As shown in Table 5, in Examples 14-23, when the glass-transition temperature of (meth)acrylic copolymer is −50 to 47° C., the obtained film has favorable property. In Comparative Example C11, when Tg is lower than −50° C., the adhesion and initial adhesion of the obtained film and PET substrate are poor, the initial peel force cannot be measured and the OLS is very low; in Comparative Example C12, when Tg is higher than 47° C., the initial adhesiveness of the obtained tape/film is poor and the initial peel force and OLS cannot be measured. Particularly, in Examples E17 and E20, the OLS exceeds 7 MPa when Tg is −40 to 30° C., which shows an outstanding technical effect has been achieved.

(149) NPES-901 is a solid epoxy resin. It is clear from the above examples and comparative examples that, in Example E25, the film still can be cured and reach a certain structural strength when added with solid epoxy resin; in Comparative Example C13, the film is likely to lose its initial adhesiveness when the proportion of solid epoxy resin is too high.

(168) As shown in Table 8, in Comparative Example C14, when thiol and epoxy are not added, the initial peel force of the film cannot be measured and the OLS is low; in Comparative Example C15, when the amount of thiol and epoxy is too high, the initial cohesion force of the tape is poor, which cannot meet the requirement. As for Comparative Example C16 with no epoxy resin added, Comparative Example C17 with no thiol added and Comparative Example C18 with no photobase added, even with UV irradiation, the OLS is low. In Examples E29-35, when the proportion of the vinyl acetate monomer unit in EVA is equal to or more than 60% by weight, an outstanding OLS can be achieved. When the proportion of the vinyl acetate monomer unit in EVA is equal to or more than 80% by weight, more outstanding OLS can be achieved.
