Adhesive bonding of poly(arylene sulfide) surfaces

摘要

Preparing an arylene sulfide polymer surface for improved bonding to another surface includes molding the initially smooth polymer surface to fit the contours of a metallic foil having a high topographical surface configuration so as to form a laminate; etching away the metallic foil from the laminate, and thereby imparting the desired high topographical configuration of the metallic foil onto the polymer surface, so as to improve adhesive bonding characteristics of the polymer surface.
