This paper deals with the influence of oligomers, namely propylene oil and butylene oil, of different molecular weight on the adhesive properties of atactic polypropylene (aPP) and its mixtures with styrene-2-ethylhexyl acrylate (S-EHA) copolymer. The mechanical work of adhesion A(m) of the mixture containing atactic polypropylene and oligomer increases with the molecular weight of the oligomer, which was more significant in the case of propylene oil. For ternary mixtures aPP-S-EHA copolymer/oligomer a maximum of adhesion can be observed if the content of the S-EHA copolymer in the mixture reaches about 30 mass-%. In the absence of oligomers in the mixture a minimum of adhesion can be observed for this composition, which can be attributed to the incompatibility of the remaining components.
