Abstract
In this paper, we studied the sticking potential of different styrene-butadiene latices by using a cylindrical probe tack method under dry and wet conditions and varying the cross-linking density of the latex. In addition, the tackiness of the latices was measured as a function of decreasing moisture content to simulate the process in the drying section of a paper machine. The results show that the sticking potential can be derived from the storage modulus in dry conditions. The presence of water in the styrene-butadiene structure changes the sticking behaviour, and the results support the hypothesis of water acting as a plasticiser for latex.
