Abstract

In the development of high-performance composite materials, metal-polymer heterogeneous structures are critical components due to their unique combination of metallic strength and polymer matrix flexibility. However, the lack of systematic analysis of metal surface treatment methods in these structures presents a significant challenge. Here we address this gap by providing a comprehensive review, beginning with an overview of the importance of metal-polymer heterogeneous structures and the current lack of systematic analyses regarding surface treatment methods. We first explore the fundamental principles underlying interfacial bonding mechanisms, focusing on mechanical interlocking, chemical bonding, and wetting theory. Then we meticulously discuss three prominent surface treatment techniques: sandblasting, chemical etching, and anodic oxidation. These techniques are analyzed for their efficacy and the mechanisms by which they generate micro-nanostructures on metal surfaces. The analyzation reveals that the micro-nanostructures induced by these treatments play a pivotal role in enhancing wettability and mechanical interlocking at metal-polymer interfaces, thereby significantly improving interfacial bond strength and durability. This review lays the groundwork for the theoretical foundation of interfacial design in metal-polymer heterogeneous materials, while also paving the way for novel research directions and technological advancements for the manufacture of composite materials with exceptional performance.

综述：提高非均相金属-聚合物组分的结合强度：表面微纳形貌构建的视角

在高性能复合材料的开发中，金属-聚合物非均相结构由于其独特的金属强度和聚合物基体柔韧性的结合而成为关键部件。然而，缺乏对这些结构中金属表面处理方法的系统分析提出了一个重大挑战。在这里，我们通过提供全面的回顾来解决这一差距，首先概述了金属-聚合物非均相结构的重要性，以及目前缺乏关于表面处理方法的系统分析。我们首先探讨了界面键合机制的基本原理，重点是机械联锁、化学键合和润湿理论。然后我们细致地讨论了三种突出的表面处理技术：喷砂、化学蚀刻和阳极氧化。分析了这些技术的有效性和它们在金属表面产生微纳米结构的机制。分析表明，这些处理引起的微纳结构在增强金属-聚合物界面的润湿性和机械联锁方面起着关键作用，从而显著提高了界面结合强度和耐久性。本文的研究为金属-聚合物非均相材料界面设计的理论基础奠定了基础，同时也为高性能复合材料的制造提供了新的研究方向和技术进步。摘要本研究探讨了先进的表面处理对金属-聚合物复合材料界面性能的增强作用。
