[7p-A411-16] [INVITED] Analysis of dissimilar joint interfaces and study of adhesion mechanism by electron microscopy
Keywords:adhesion, electron microscopy, interface
The study of the mechanism of adhesion is of great importance in order to evaluate the reliability and durability of the adhesive joints. In order to elucidate the bonding mechanism of metal/plastic joints, we have to consider the structures involved in the interfacial region. The interfacial region contains a variety of structures having different special scales and properties from the bulks, and thus it should have certain volume and thickness. We performed scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging with simultaneous EDX and EELS recording for investigating the strongly-bonded interfaces between polyphenylenesulfide (PPS) and Al and between PPS and Cu.
