Abstract
Significant improvements in the adhesion of several metals to polymers have been achieved through the ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) technique. Films of silver, gold, and copper were deposited via IBAD onto poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) substrates. These films are substantially more adherent than similar non-IBAD coatings. Film characterization was performed with conventional pull tests, selective abrasion tests, optical microscopy, ESCA, RBS, and static SIMS. Evidence is given for the “smearing” of the normally sharp metal/polymer interface by the ion beam recoil events. Further analysis, however, suggests that the improved adhesion may result from an increase in the shear strength of the PTFE surface layers due to the promotion of crosslinking.
