Abstract
Abstract Adhesion phenomena involving polymer-metal interfaces have become a central subject for research and technological development, especially in view of adhesive bonding of metallic components in primary load-bearing structures. Since adhesion implies that some sort of chemical and/or physical interactions take place between the metal adherend and the polymeric adhesive, a great deal of attention has been devoted to identification and characterization of such interactions and to the development of techniques to study them. Among the most widely used methods for interfacial studies are: ESCA (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis), AES (Auger Electron Spectroscopy), SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy), IR spectroscopy, optical microscopy, and electron microscopy.
