Abstract

The interfacial interaction of a thermoplastic copolymer ethylene-maleic anhydride with stainless steel has been studied by infrared spectroscopie techniques (FTIR) in order to improve the durability of steel/polymer association, by modifying formulation of polymer or surface treatment of stainless steel.

In order to be successful, an analytical methodology has been established. Interfacial chemical actions of maleic anhydride with stainless steel are simulated through thin layer of succinic anhydride on polished metal surface. FTIR spectroscopie (grazing angle) permit a direct access ot interphase for identifying new bounds between organic and metallic compounds.

Interaction of succinic anhydride with the polar OH groups of the oxidized metal surface follawed a reactional mechanism which can be described by two steps:

- opening of the anhydrid ring for reacting with adsorbed water and formation of acid group (-COOH),

- reaction of acid group with hydroxylic fraction of metal surface and formation of carboxylate anion (-COO-) groups.
