Perhaps the simplest use of colloidal silica in this area is its use to firictionize and coat the film base material to both make it easier to be conveyed through the process and also to prevent it from blocking or adhering to itself when rolled up. The use of colloidal silica as an anti-blocking agent is discussed above under the Surface Modification of plastic films. 

The volume is divided into three parts Part I. Metallization Techniques and Properties of Metal Deposits, Part II, Investigation of Interfacial Interactions," and Part III, "Plastic Surface Modification and Adhesion Aspects of Metallized Plastics. The topics covered include various metallization techniques for a variety of plastic substrates various properties of metal deposits metal diffusion during metallization of high-temperature polymers investigation of metal/polymer inlerfacial interactions using a variety of techniques, viz., ESCA, SIMS, HREELS, UV photoemission theoretical studies of metal/polymer interfaces computer simulation of dielectric relaxation at metal/insulalor interfaces surface modification of plastics by a host of techniques including wet chemical, plasma, ion bombardment and its influence on adhesion adhesion aspects of metallized plastics including the use of blister test to study dynamic fracture mechanism of thin metallized plastics.

Surface modification of plastic materials is, nowadays, frequently carried out by exposing the surface to be bonded to a controlled flame, plasma or corona discharge.
