Description

<p>The adhesion of metals and polymers has wide industrial applications; interface bonding and adhesion mechanisms are essential for determining the final properties of polymer composites. A triazine-based silane coupling agent was used to treat aluminum and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to form metal-polymer interface bonds through chemical bonding. Bonding strength tests, swelling experiments, rubber curing degree measurements, and dynamic viscoelastic analyses were performed on Al/PDMS samples of different thicknesses to investigate the molecular motion of the formed Al/PDMS interface. The influence of the PDMS thickness on the molecular motion of joint was studied. The bonded Al/PDMS interface had a higher degree of cooperation of molecular motion corresponding to stress relaxation than that of unbonded rubber, whose molecules restrain molecular motility. Swelling experiments revealed that only a specific thickness of the PDMS can chemically bond with Al, and below this thickness, the solvent, toluene, cannot penetrate the bonding interface. This study provides basic insights about metal-polymer interface mechanisms at a molecular level.</p>
