The Adhesion of Polymers to Metals: The Role of Surface Topography

  • Chapter
Adhesion Aspects of Polymeric Coatings

Abstract

A polymer liquid will generally achieve good contact with a smooth, uncontaminated surface of a metal. Penetration of the polymer into pores on a rough surface depends on the contact angle and the shape of the pores. If these are favorable, a significant penetration may occur at equilibrium. The rate of penetration is considered in terms of the Washburn equation and modifications of it, which take into account variation of contact angle and viscosity with time.
