The Molecular Modelling of Silane Primers for Adhesive Joints and Composite Materials.

Abstract

The main aim of this work is to improve the understanding of the Molecular-level mechanism of adhesion of organosilanes on metal surfaces for the design of improved adhesion promoters/primers. Our approach will be to carry out molecular simulations to determine binding energies of the various molecular structures and the influence of surface contaminants, on the interaction of organosilanes with metal oxides. We will be using a variety of computer simulation methods incorporated in the Cerius(2) software. jg p1
