Influence of Silicone Additives on the Properties of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

I think the work is interesting and useful. The manuscript can be accepted after minor reversion.

1 Please make clear the purpose and importance of adding the silicone additives.

2 Please make clear the innovation of this paper.

3 Some capital letter abbreviations such as SAFT test should give the full names when they first apper.

I think the work is interesting and useful. The manuscript can be accepted after minor reversion.

1 Please make clear the purpose and importance of adding the silicone additives.

We agree with the Reviewer's opinion. The purpose has been supplemented in the text at the end of the introduction.

2 Please make clear the innovation of this paper.

The innovation of the article is the determination of the influence of various silicone additives: polydimethylsiloxanes polymers and various silicone oils. During the literature review, no other documents were found that would describe this issue. We added this information to the article.

3 Some capital letter abbreviations such as SAFT test should give the full names when they first apper.

We agree with the Reviewer's opinion. The abbreviation was expanded in the text.

 

Finally, we hope that corrections made in the manuscript fulfill reviewer suggestions and allow editor to make positive decision about acceptation of our contribution for publishing in this journal.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Colloidal materials have always been one of the indispensable materials in people's production and life. I personally do not have much research on such materials, so I may not be able to judge this manuscript very accurately. However, based on my interest in materials and research accumulation, I give some suggestions for improvement of this manuscript from my personal perspective: the manuscript seems to lack the characterization of materials, For example, from the perspective of molecular dynamics, explain how silicone additives affect the properties of materials at the material structure level. In conclusion, I think this manuscript is acceptable.
