Surface Treatment of Structual Adhensive Bonding for Metallic Materials and Its Interface

Abstract

Surface analysis methods like XPS, static SIMS, AES, and RA-FTIR can provide valuable information on the structure and composition of interface between metal and polymer. Examples of their application are the investigations of bonding mechanisms such as surface primary bonding. This paper reviews the ability of these surface analysis methods for the interface study, particularlly for the interface between pretreated metals and polymeric materials for structural bonding.
