In PE/aluminium laminates, which are used for packaging, the bond strength can be improved by surface oxidation of the polymer. An alternative to surface oxidation is to use copolymers of ethylene and monomers containing polar groups that can provide stronger bonds to metal thus increasing adhesion [24,25]. The effects of three functional groups in ethylene copolymers, namely EVS [polyethylene-co-vinyl trimethoxy silane], EBA [polyethylene-co-butyl acrylate], EAA [polyethylene-co-acrylic acid) on the adhesion was studied [25]. The interface in polymer/metal laminates has been analysed by FT-IR...

In this paper we discuss (1) small main-chain motions and their effect on the flow processes, (2) the embrittlement of polycarbonate, (3) the formation of microvoids from sample preparation and their effect on the brittleness of polymer glasses, and (4) the modification of the degree of brittleness of polymer glasses at the filler interface in polymer composites. 

The detected current is influenced considerably by any incomplete contact between sample and electrode, bubbles, grain boundary, and so on. So it is necessary to be careful in preparing the contact conditions for the sample and electrode interface in polymer systems. When the polymers are flexible films or soft paste, good contact is obtained by simply pressing. For hard or brittle polymer systems, it is difficult to get good contact by the pressing pressure. To improve the contact, it is necessary to melt the polymer material or to sputter electrode material on the...

From the observations on branched PEO and alkanes more general conclusions can be drawn about the overcrowding problem at the crystalline—amorphous interface in polymers and about the mechanism of chain deposition during crystal growth. Thus, e.g., although for the Y-shaped alkane the energeti-... 

Among the tools that permit one to obtain molecular information about interfaces [e.g., x-ray and neutron scattering, solid state nmr (2)], fluorescence quenching methods (3) offer some important advantages. They are sensitive. The equipment is readily available and relatively inexpensive. There is scope and versatility to those methods. There are many sources in the literature one can turn to for ideas for new experiments to study systems composed of synthetic polymers, because of the wide-spread applications of fluorescence techniques in the biological sciences (4). This chapter provides a brief Introduction to some applications of fluorescence quenching to study interfaces in polymer systems.
