The Role of Chemical Bonding in Adhesion.

Abstract

Progress in three different phases of our study of the role of chemical bonding in adhesion is summarized in this report. Phase one consisted of physical properties of model filled elastomers consisting of polybutadiene with glass beads incorporated. A series of glass beads of different sizes and with different surface treatments were used. The results were compared with those for other systems taken from the literature and with theoretical predictions. Phase two consisted of a study of the adhesion between two similar or dissimilar elastomer layers, differing either in initial degree of crosslinking or in chemical reactivity. Phase three consisted of a study of the role of amines in the adhesion of cured polybutadiene to substrates. (Author)
