Abstract
The adhesion properties of high molecular weight polydimethylsiloxane adhesives are measured using 90Β°βpeel adhesion tests, in the high velocity range. Such adhesives undergo mainly adhesive failure in this regime. The influence of viscosity (nonβNewtonian), adhesive thickness, peeling velocity, and backing properties are studied, and new unexpected behaviors are shown. The role of rheology and peeling velocity can be explained by an extension of a model already presented for cohesive failure, by using a powerβlaw fluid for the adhesive. On the other hand, the influence of the backing rigidity reveals to be coupled with the adhesive elastic properties, this effect being correlated to the introduction of a new parameter in the model, the Weissenberg number for viscoelasticity.

## Abstract In this paper the subject of peel is divided into two parts: (__1__) A mathematical determination of peeling stresses in an adhesive bond due to the applied peeling loads which leads to a mathematical definition of βpeel strength.β (__2__) A review of suitable peel test methods examined
In this article we use a linear elastic fracture mechanics approach to characterize the adhesive performance of two commercially available pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). An axisymmetric adhesion test involving the contact of a spherical indenter with a thin adhesive layer is used to generate "
