Tab Article
Based on a conference sponsored by the Electrochemical Society held in Honolulu, this critical reference integrates-in a single, comprehensive source-the latest findings on metallized plastics and their far-reaching applications by more than 80 recognized experts from North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Addressing both basic and aspects of the subject, Metallized Plastics enables beginning and experienced practitioners to keep abreast of recent developments, including metallization techniques for plastic substrates…..the properties of metal deposits…investigation of metal/polymer interfacial interactions using methods from ESCA and SIMS to HREELS and UP photoemission….theoretical studies of metal/polymer interfaces…..computer simulation of dielectric relaxation at metal/insulator interfaces…….the modification of polymer surfaces with wet chemicals, plasma, and ion bombardmentand its effect on adhesion….the use of the blister test to study dynamic fracture mechanism in thin metallized plastics….and more.
Containing valuable bibliographic citations, tables, equations, drawings, photographs, and spectra that elucidate the material, Metallized Plastics is a practical guide for plastics, chemical, and microelectronics packaging engineers; polymer, surface, and colloid chemists; plastics technologists; adhesion and thin film scientist and technologists; researchers in the finishing industry.
