Patent ID: 8900699

Claim:
An article, comprising: a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) having a first adhesive surface and an opposing second adhesive surface, the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) comprising (A) the blend comprising: (a) a first poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) having a molecular weight (M w ) of from 75,000 to 250,000 Daltons and a polydispersity index (PDI) of less than 2.0, and (b) a second poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-e-caprolactone) having a molecular weight (M w ) of 60,000 to 130,000 Daltons and a polydispersity index (PDI) of less than 2.0; wherein the second poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-e-caprolactone) has a molecular weight (M w ) that is less than the first poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone); and wherein the weight ratio of the first poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) to the second poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-e-caprolactone) is from about 90:10 to about 60:40, or (B) the blend comprising: (a) a third poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) having a molecular weight of from 75,000 to 250,000 Daltons and a polydispersity index (PDI) of less than 2.0, and (b) a poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-mPEG) having a molecular weight of less than 25,000 Daltons and a polydispersity index (PDI) of less than 2.0; and wherein the weight ratio of the poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) to the poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-mPEG) is from about 95:5 to about 75:25; and a release liner having a surface thereof adhered to the first adhesive surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
