Adhesion of Elastomers to Rigid Substrates--Three Substrates with Unexpectedly High Adhesion.

Abstract

An unexpectedly high level of adhesion has been observed for simple hydrocarbon elastomers applied to certain glassy substrates: polyphenylene oxide, polysulfone and polycarbonate. The force required to separate an elastomer layer from these substrates was more than six times larger than for other glassy substrates, e.g., polystyrene and polyethyleneterephthalate. The origin of this anomalously high adhesion is not known. (Author)
