Process for chemically bonding a poly-p-xylylene to a thermosetting resin and article produced thereby

摘要

Poly-p-xylylene is chemically bonded to a thermoset resin via a reaction between oxygen-containing groups at the surface of the poly-p-xylylene and a reactant component of the thermosetting resin. A low temperature plasma is employed to chemically modify the surface of the poly-p-xylylene to incorporate the oxygen atoms into the backbone of the polymer at its surface.
