Photochemical Modification of Fluorocarbon Resin Surface to Adhere with Epoxy Resin
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
An epoxy-compatible layer was produced in the near-surface region of a fluorocarbon resin by irradiating with an ArF excimer laser in a gaseous B(CH3)3 or a B(OH)3 water solution atmosphere. The pure photochemical reaction was employed in the modification process, the defluorination of the surface was performed with boron atoms which were photo-dissociated from B(CH3)3 or B(OH)3. The CH3 or OH radicals, also photo-dissociated, replaced the fluorine atoms of the surface. As a result, chemical bonding of the surface with the epoxy was performed. The adhesive strength was evaluated by the shearing tensile test, and the epoxy break value of 130 kgf/cm2 was sucessfully achieved.
