“…In addition, the introduction of siloxane unit can enhance the surface roughness due to the phase separation occurred in the copolymers . Both the two factors are favor of the increase in the surface hydrophobicity . As a result, the higher content of PDMS yields the copolymer with more hydrophobic surface …”

Poly(siloxane-ether-urethane)-acrylic (PU-AC) hybrid emulsions were prepared by introducing different hydroxyethoxypropyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) content into the acrylic-terminated poly(ether-urethane) backbone and then in situ copolymerizing with methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate via emulsion process. The effects of PDMS on the particle size and viscoelastic behavior of the hybrid emulsions were investigated. Meanwhile, the hydrogen bonding, mechanical and thermal mechanical properties, water resistance, the surface gloss, and wettability of the resultant hybrid films were also studied. The results showed that all the hybrid emulsions showed shear-thinning behaviors, and the introduction of PDMS resulted in the formation of the hybrid emulsions with increased average particle size and decreased viscosity. The chemical bonds built between PU and AC yielded higher than 73% crosslinking fraction in all the hybrid materials, but this value decreased with increasing PDMS content because PDMS reduced the hydrogen bonding interactions and enhanced the phase separation. As a result, an increase in the PDMS content led to an increase in the elongation, water resistance, surface roughness, and water hydrophobic of the films, but the tensile strength, hardness, storage modulus, and glass transitions temperature decreased. It is suggested that introduction of PDMS can provide the hybrid materials with the improved flexibility, water resistance, and surface hydrophobicity, which has potential application value in the fouling-release coatings, biomaterials, and surface fishing.

“…To have a deeper understanding of the mechanisms induced by UV/ozone treatment, the changes of the chemical and morphological properties of the treated surfaces were previously investigated [27]. The chemical changes of polymeric materials can be effectively detected using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy coupled with Attenuated Total Reflection accessory (FTIR-ATR) [28,29]. Figure 6 shows the FTIR-ATR spectra of neat and UV-treated surfaces [27].…”

To improve their adhesion strength, polymeric surfaces are usually modified through different treatments. This study investigates the effect of mechanical, chemical, and energetic treatments on the bonding strength of ethylene propylene diene methylene (EPDM), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) materials. Three adhesives based on different chemical compositions, namely silicone, polyurethane, and modified-silane (MS) polymer, were considered. Results show that the effect of the applied treatments on the adhesion strength of EPDM surfaces is insignificant. Only a slight improvement is obtained in the case of polyurethane-based adhesive, while the failure modes remained adhesive. As for PVC, most treatments were effective in the case of the silicone-based adhesive, especially grit blasting, primer, and UV/ozone treatments. Only UV/ozone treatment improved the adhesion strength and altered the failure mechanisms of this material when polyurethane and MS-based adhesives are used. The adhesion of ABS increased and the failure modes changed from adhesive to cohesive for most treatments. Particularly, a significant improvement is obtained when primer coating and UV/ozone radiation are applied. This comparative study paves the way for the design of polymeric joints with highly enhanced adhesion performance.

“…Fourier-Transform Infrared Attenuated Total Reflectance (FTIR-ATR) characterization was performed to determine the effect of UV/ozone treatment on the chemical structure of the treated surfaces [37]. Spectra were acquired using a single-beam FT100 spectrometer in conjunction with an ATR accessory, manufactured by PerkinElmer (Waltham, USA).…”

The impact of UV/ozone treatment on the wettability and adhesion of ethylene propylene diene methylene (EPDM) rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) was investigated using contact angle measurements, OWRK surface free energy model, standardized adhesion tests, and spectroscopic and microscopic observations. It is found that UV/ozone treatment enhances the wettability of the examined polymers. Also, it considerably improved the adhesion strength of PVC and ABS samples, and shifted their failure modes from adhesive to cohesive. FTIR-ATR characterization showed insignificant changes in the chemical structures of the studied materials. However, SEM observation showed newly-created wrinkles and micro-holes on treated PVC surfaces, and micropores on ABS surfaces. These UV-induced morphological changes on PVC and ABS surfaces increase the surface area and can promote mechanical interlocking with the adhesive. This explains the improvement of their adhesion strength. Implications of the current study for the processing of strongly-bonded polymeric joints are discussed.
