Abstract

AbstractThe fabrication of pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) using liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), which are known for their excellent dissipation properties, is explored in this work. The adhesive properties of the PSAs are evaluated using the 180° peeling test at various conditions. The performance of the LCE adhesives is found to show significant rate and temperature dependence. When the adhesion energy is plotted against the rate, LCE shows an anomalously large power law exponent (n ≈ 1.17) compared to existing PSAs (n ≈ 0.1–0.6). The unusual rate sensitivity is hypothesized to originate from the synergy of soft elasticity and non‐linear viscoelasticity. The adhesive properties at various rates and temperatures are correlated to the results from dynamic mechanical analysis. Moreover, the large strain stiffening behavior of LCE under uniaxial tension reveals the distinctive advantages offered by LCE as adhesives. Time‐temperature superposition is used to obtain a master curve of adhesion energy that spans rates beyond typical experimental limits. The extreme rate dependence and the large strain stiffening of LCE yield a new category of adhesives that possess special properties, such as reversible adhesion and impact resistance, unlike traditional adhesives.
