Abstract

AbstractOriented monolayer adhesives of stearic acid have been employed to bond polyethylene to stainless steel. Bonding time, bonding temperature, and rate of peel are several of the parameters that here varied to determine their effect on the final peel strength. Peel strengths of about 90 lb./in. width were obtained for monolayer coated specimens. When the specimens were fabricated properly, only cohesional failure of the polyethylene resulted. Irradiation of the bonded specimens resulted in considerable lowering of the peel resistance of the nonmonolayer coated specimens, relatively small differences being noted for those prepared with the oriented monolayer adhesive.
