Why are sticky notes sticky?

They have an adhesive on part of the back. The adhesive is generally not strong enough to make a good glue, but it's tacky enough to make a decent temporary attachment. Low Mw Poly(acrylates) (actually, oligo-acrylates would probably be a better term) tend to be good candidates for this kind of adhesive. The glue used was actually a failure of an adhesive, invented by 3M. It found a use for temporairly sticking attachments to other paper without causing damage.
