Abstract
The adhesion of chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM) to aluminum (Al) and its adhesion mechanism was investigated. The lap-shear strength between CSM and Al was nearly 3 times higher than that between chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) and Al, suggesting that the chlorosulfonyl (SO2Cl) group enhances the adhesion strength. The CSM-Al interfaces were analyzed using electron energy loss spectroscopy with scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM-EELS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the CSM creates a rough interface with a thick oxide layer containing Al(OH)3 simultaneously in the bonding process. Such an increase in the interfacial roughness is considered to result from the electrochemical reaction of Al mediated by the interaction between the free chloride ions detached from the SO2Cl group and the Al oxide layer. The insoluble adsorbed layers of CSM and CPE on Al were also characterized by ellipsometry. CSM is more likely to contain loosely adsorbed polymer chains. The loosely adsorbed polymer chains behave as connection points between the Al substrate and bulk polymer chains, thereby enhancing the adhesion strength. SO2Cl-containing polymers may offer a new type of adhesive material that does not require surface pretreatment of adherent.
期刊介绍:
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
