The invention relates to an adhesive and a preparation method thereof, a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape and a preparation method thereof. The adhesive comprises the following raw material componentsin parts by mass: 20-35 parts of butyl acrylate, 4-10 parts of a hard monomer, 0.4-1 part of a functional monomer, 0.1-0.5 part of an initiator and 60-70 parts of a solvent, wherein the hard monomeris selected from at least two of methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate, the functional monomer is selected from at least two of hydroxyethyl acrylate, acrylic acid and acrylamide, and the functional monomer contains hydroxyethyl acrylate. According to the adhesive, the hard monomer, the functional monomer, a soft monomer butyl acrylate and other raw material components arereasonably combined to form good physical crosslinking, so that heat resistance of the adhesive is remarkably improved, and no residual is left after the adhesive is attached to a product.
