Finally, chemical alteration of surfaces can improve adhesion. Semicrystalline materials have low polarity and low surface tension that must be increased to enable adhesives to bond. Oxidizing processes such as corona discharge, plasma, flame treatments, or UV irradiation in the presence of air or oxygen may be used to alter normally nonpolar surfaces, rendering them... [Pg.208]

Infrared spectroscopy is used for identification of plastics and elastomers, polymer blends, additives, surface coatings, thickness (see Fig. 9-12), and chemical alteration of surfaces [10-12]. [Pg.747]
