XPS Study of the Interface Between Thermally Evaporated Aluminium and Polyethyleneterephthalate: Evidence for Oxycarbide Species

  • Chapter
Metallized Plastics 2

Abstract

The interface between in situ thermally evaporated aluminium and a biaxially oriented film of polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) has been studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The surface of PET has been characterized before and after metallization. The results of metallization show that the bonding of aluminium atoms with PET occurs at carbonyl sites, as evidenced by the rapid attenuation of carbonyl C1s core level photoemission intensity. This chemical reaction leads to the formation of a C-O-Al complex at the interface. With increasing Al coverage, a new C1s species is also observed at a lower binding energy and is supposed to originate from aluminium carbide-like bonding.
