Figures 6.6 and 6.7 present correlations of the optical densities of several absorption bands (located far or less far from each other) for specimens with various filler contents. Bands at 1220,1540,1600, and 3300 cm are due to fluctuations in rigid blocks amide HI, amide II, benzene ring, and i/(NH), respectively [357]. Correlation of the intensities of bands due to flexible blocks does not change with filler concentration in specimens for filled polymer surface layers, formed both in contact with metal substrate (adhesive layers) and in conditions of no contact. The bands connected with fluctuations in groups participating in hydrogen bonding proved to be sensitive to the additives (Figs. 6.6 and 6.7).

Of practical interest are detailed studies to influence the magnetooptical properties of RE-TM materials by the substrate material and the substrate adhesion of RE-TM layers by the selected deposition technique (226). Accordingly, measurements have been performed on glass, BPA-polycarbonate, and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (as a flexible substrate). 

Yoon el al. [112] reported an all-solid-state sensor for blood analysis. The sensor consists of a set of ion-selective membranes for the measurement of H+, K+, Na+, Ca2+, and Cl. The metal electrodes were patterned on a ceramic substrate and covered with a layer of solvent-processible polyurethane (PU) membrane. However, the pH measurement was reported to suffer severe unstable drift due to the permeation of water vapor and carbon dioxide through the membrane to the membrane-electrode interface. For conducting polymer-modified electrodes, the adhesion of conducting polymer to the membrane has been improved by introducing an adhesion layer. For example, polypyrrole (PPy) to membrane adhesion is improved by using an adhesion layer, such as Nafion [60] or a composite of PPy and Nafion [117],... 

Several extruders can be used to make multilayer films and/or to extrude adhesive layers to glue thermoplastics and substrate. 

The main property that distinguishes a pressure-sensitive adhesive from other types of adhesives is that it exhibits a permanent and controlled tack. This tackiness is what causes the adhesive to adhere instantly when it is pressed against a substrate. After it has adhered, the PSA should exhibit tack, peel and shear properties that are reproducible within narrow limits. This requires that the adhesive layer be only slightly cross-linked.113 PSAs are based on polymers with low Tg, typically in the range-74 to +13°C.114... 

In many cases, particularly with evaporation and sputtering methods, adhesion of the deposited film to the substrate may be inherently poor. It is extremely desirable in such cases to deposit a thin layer of an intermediate material that has better adhesion to the substrate. Examples of appropriate adhesion layers are discussed after presentation of evaporation and sputtering techniques. 

The type of adhesion dealt with in the examples in the second paragraph above and Fig. 1 is mechanical or structural while for the lithographic resist adhesion requirements described in this paper a more practical definition of adhesion, one first proposed by Mittal [16], is being referenced and used. Resist patterning layer-substrate adhesion is required only to process or pattern a particular device layer. After the circuit layer is patterned, the resist layer is removed and does not become an integral part of the circuit, as opposed to a PI interlevel metal dielectric layer which does. As such, it is not required to possess high mechanical adhesion strength. In fact, the resist layer must be quantitatively removed after the circuit required layer has been patterned. If the resist layer adheres too well and becomes difficult to remove, it actually interferes with successful circuit fabrication. 

The latter thicker adhesion layers are most likely polysiloxane condensation polymer layers. Photoresist adhesion to these layers may be electrostatic in nature, while the adhesion of the promoter layers to the gold substrate may be the result of chemisorption forces between the chelating moieties of the promoter layer and the gold surface atoms. 

Therefore, in general, the samples that were primed at 51% RH exhibited failure primarily in the adhesive. Since failure occurred in the adhesive layer in this case, it may be concluded that the alkoxides form a more stable hydrated oxide layer and therefore once the crack was initiated, it propagated through the weaker adhesive. A possible reason why the crack did not propagate close to the steel substrate was the formation of a strong steel-alkoxide (hydroxide) interface. 

Metal layers have been deposited on microchip substrates. The metal layer was either used as an etch mask in micromachining, or used for detection (e.g., as metal electrodes for electrochemical detection). Various metals have been used as the overlayer and adhesion layer, as summarized in Table 2.10. 

Infrared detection of toluene can be achieved on a microchip. The chip substrate, which should be IR-transparent, has been fabricated from CaF2. The microchannels were etched on CaF2 using a saturated Fe(NH4)(S04)2 solution at room temperature for 24 h. The etched depths were -18 im or - 8 im, when the etchant was stirred or unstirred, respectively. Bonding was achieved using photoresist as an adhesive layer and with heating (135°C, 30 min) [743,744],... 

A silicone rubber adhesive layer is used in US-A-4081819 to bond an HgCdTe substrate, which includes an epitaxial layer, to a second substrate. The silicone rubber adhesive reduces the risk that the substrate cracks when cooled to cryogenic temperatures. 

A p -type HgCdTe layer 2 is first epitaxially grown on a CdZnTe substrate. The structure is bonded to a substrate 3 by an adhesive layer 4.
