A Comprehensive Guide on Adhesion Promoters for Polymers
Most of the polymer resins and composites have low surface free energy and lack polar functional groups, hence, resulting in inherently poor adhesion properties. Therefore, in order to improve adhesion of polymers with other components, be it fillers or even other polymers, adhesion promoters are added.
Adhesion promoters have reactive functional groups which help increase the adhesion/compatibility of two immiscible components. Few examples include silanes, organometallics, polymeric adhesion promoters, etc. Are you looking for strategies to narrow down your adhesion promoters search for your application?
