We have used X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to study the chemical interactions at the interface formed during in situ deposition of Ti atoms on epoxy, triazine, and polystyrene surfaces. We find that for deposition on thick polymer films (1-2 mm) the primary component at the interface is TiO2 with small amounts of titanium nitride and titanium carbide. The source of the oxygen in the TiO2 is water or molecular oxygen dissolved in the polymer films. We also find that the Ti/triazine interface is more stable to heat treatment than the Ti/epoxy interface. This result is attributed to the higher glass transition temperature of triazine. For thin triazine films (~ 100Å) we observe that titanium carbide is the dominant product, with smaller amounts of oxide and nitride. Aging in air causes the carbide and nitride to convert to the more thermodynamically-stable oxide. Titanium carbide is also the primary initial species at the Ti/polystyrene interface. 相似文献
In recent years several investigators have focused on the synthesis of uniformly and continuously coated particles to impart improved chemical stability, mechanical strength, morphology and/or dispersibility to powders required for preparing next-generation composities. This paper reviews two in situ reaction methods employed at Clarkson University to selectively coat individual particles having widely different shape, size and chemical composition. The aerosol procedure allows core particles to become coated using room temperature liquid-gas reactions. Alternatively, coating particles dispersed in a solvent containing reactive precursors is more applicable to industrial processing. Uniform, well-adhering coatings of polyurea on titania powder, of polydivinylbenzene on silica beads, and of carbon and boron nitride on silicon carbide whiskers were made by selecting the correct precursors and reaction chemistries. Qualitative assessment of adhesion between the coatings and cores is given. 相似文献
This paper summarizes a study on the effect of changes in surface chemistry on the peel strength of copper/polymer interfaces. Two different surface topographics were created and evaluated, one produced by cleaning and etching in sodium persulfate, the other by etching then mechanically roughening using 180 grit sandpaper. Both surfaces were then oxidized in an alkaline/oxidizing treatment to form cupric oxide. Ion implantation and benzotriazole priming modified the surface chemistry of the cupric oxide samples. After lamination to form an epoxy/copper interface, peel strength measurements were taken. The results showed that ion implantation degraded the peel strength while priming with benzotriazole improved the peel strength compared with the unmodified cupric oxide. In a separate comparison study, peel strength measurements were taken on interfaces formed from copper oxides with the same oxide structure but with widely different gross morphologies, “As laminated” adhesive strength was virtually the same. The bonded interfaces were aged at elevated temperature and the peel strength obeyed first order degradation kinetics. Two terms can be determined from the degradation studies, the first is the long term peel strength, A(∞), and the other is Ω, the degradation rate with units of time-1. A value of A(∞) was 3.0 lbs/in for etched copper interfaces while A(∞) was 0.5 lbs/in for the sanded interfaces. 相似文献
A study is made of the factors that contribute to the energy of mica-mica, silica-silica, and mica-silica interfaces in the presence of moist atmospheres. Energies are measured using brittle fracture and contact adhesion techniques. Both "virgin" and "healed" interfaces are investigated, with special attention on the latter. The fracture and adhesion data overlap, reflecting a common underlying separation process by "sharp-crack propagation." The study identifies several contributors to the interface adhesion energies. At virgin mica-mica and silica-silica interfaces the energy is determined by primary ionic-covalent attraction, and by the screening of this attraction by condensed moisture from the atmosphere. At healed interfaces the energy depends on both environmental interaction and "lattice" coherence. At retracted cracks in mica-mica most of the virgin ionic attraction is retained. On misorienting separated cleavage halves prior to recontact the interaction energy drops substantially: in "dry" atmosphers (relative humidity <5%) a portion of the Coulombic interaction persists in the form of "macroscopic domains" of electrostatic charge, attributable to long-range order in the cation sublattice; in "wet" atmospheres (relative humidity >50%) capillary forces dominate. The dissimilar mica-silica system exhibits the same dominance by capillary forces in wet atmospheres. However, in dry atmospheres the adhesion energy becomes inordinately high, from spontaneous transfer of electronic charge from one surface to the other. The implications of these observations concerning mechanical properties of brittle ceramics are discussed. 相似文献
The composition and structure of interfaces between single crystal Al2O3 (sapphire) samples and liquid Sn–V alloys, containing 1% and 3% V, have been characterized in situ at high temperature using neutron reflection spectroscopy. Measurements made at 900°C are shown to be consistent with a thin (10–25 nm) AlV2O4 layer forming at the solid/liquid interface, with possibly a thinner layer of enhanced V content adjacent to the liquid, to promote wetting. After longer time exposure to temperature this interface layer roughens and a more complex interface structure occurs. 相似文献
The methodical approach and the cell to study electrochemical processes occurring during cathodic disbondment of a polymer coating are worked out. They permit one to investigate the role of each process separately when supervising the metal substrate potential, electrolyte and polymer coating composition at a metal/polymer/electrolyte interface. The cathodic disbondment of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyisoprene and poly(vinyl chloride) coatings are studied. It is found that the cathodic disbondment rate for ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer coatings depends on double layer parameters at the interface. These parameters are determined by specific volume charge of hydrated cations of the electrolyte, potential of the substrate, the presence of oxygen, surface active substances, etc. Based on the data of IR spectroscopy in internal reflection applied to disbonded films, it is established that during the cathodic disbondment an electron transfer to polymer functional groups, as well as an attacking of the adhesion bonds by active intermediates of oxygen reduction, occurs resulting in an electrochemical degradation of the polymer and an adhesion loss. It is shown that the electrochemical transformations at the steel/poly(vinyl chloride) interface can lead to the appearance of new adhesion bonds, increasing adhesion strength and decelerating the cathodic disbondment. 相似文献
Fatigue (slow) crack growth in epoxy/glass interfaces bonded with the silane coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was studied under static and cyclic loading at 23°C, 95% RH using the double cleavage drilled compression test. Crack growth rates under cyclic loading were significantly greater than under static loading, in contrast to crack growth rate results in monolithic glass. After aging up to 34 h at 94°C in distilled water, the silane-bonded epoxy/glass specimens exhibited somewhat greater resistance to fatigue crack growth than the unaged samples; however, after aging at 98°C in distilled water and at 70°C in an aqueous KOH solution at pH 10, crack growth became cohesive and exhibited fractal behavior. Mechanisms for fatigue crack growth at silane-bonded epoxy/glass interfaces are proposed. 相似文献

This review is focused on molecular momentum transport at fluid-solid interfaces mainly related to microfluidics and nanofluidics in micro-/nano-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). This broad subject covers molecular dynamics behaviors, boundary conditions, molecular momentum accommodations, theoretical and phenomenological models in terms of gas-solid and liquid-solid interfaces affected by various physical factors, such as fluid and solid species, surface roughness, surface patterns, wettability, temperature, pressure, fluid viscosity and polarity. This review offers an overview of the major achievements, including experiments, theories and molecular dynamics simulations, in the field with particular emphasis on the effects on microfluidics and nanofluidics in nanoscience and nanotechnology. In Section 1 we present a brief introduction on the backgrounds, history and concepts. Sections 2 and 3 are focused on molecular momentum transport at gas-solid and liquid-solid interfaces, respectively. Summary and conclusions are finally presented in Section 4. 相似文献

The present works aims to develop multi‐materials such as steel/polymer/steel hybrid system for weight savings in automotive industries. This laminate must be compatible with processing on the industrial line (steel/polymer lamination under 200 °C) and the structure must be flow‐resistant during the paint process curing (200 °C for 30 min). Consequently, a yield stress polymer system based on compatibilized PA11/copolymer of ethylene and octene blends has been developed. The yield stress property (for T > 200 °C) depends on the phase concentration and compatibilization strategy. It is observed that an annealing process (heating treatment for 1 h at 200 °C), simulating the painting process, provides a strong benefit for the polymer/steel properties after aging under humidity conditions.
