Abstract
The study of metallized polymers samples elaborated in industrial and laboratory conditions, has allowed to determine the key parameters which govern the properties of evaporated metal films on polymers. The metal-polymer adhesion has been evaluated by the peel test and the scratch test methods. The chemical composition of the thin metal layers evaporated on polymers substrates was determined with the help of SIMS and RBS; their microstructure was studied by electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, ISS has been used in order to determine the locus of failure during the peel test procedure and also in order to study the early stages of the metal growth on different polymers substrates. An attempt to rely these macroscopic and microscopic properties of metallized polymers is proposed. It is shown that the control of these properties depends not only on the physico-chemical properties of the polymers substrates but also on the metallization conditions.
