| Popis: | Although polyethylene (PE) is one of the most frequently used synthetic polymers in the plastics market, it is very difficult to imprint or bond PE with adhesives without pre-treatments based upon electrical, chemical and thermal processes. This is because a uniform adhesion property of PE cannot be expected without these processes. In this study, we suggest a simple, fast and cost-effective method to improve the adhesion properties of PE using a Kapton tape, which is a polyimide film generally used in flexible electronics. Specifically, by wrapping PE substrates applied with an adhesive using a Kapton tape and curing the sample using either a hot-press or a hot plate, the standard deviation of the shear strength decreased by 82.1% and 87.6%, respectively. To further improve the adhesion of PE substrates, we functionalized their surface using coupling agents, such as (3-glycidoxypropyl) methyldiethoxysilane and (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane after an ultraviolet-ozone process. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and vacuum Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, we proved that a significant improvement in the adhesion of PE occurred because of chemical crosslinking between either epoxy or amine groups functionalized on the PE substrates and epoxy-based adhesives comprising diglycidyl ether epoxy resin and triethylenetetramine hardener. This study is important, as it suggests a simple and very effective method to obtain highly reliable adhesion properties of PE using conventional adhesives. |
