“…Since it is difficult to achieve effective direct bonding between TC4 and non-polar UHMWPE [9,17,18], different surface structures were designed on the metal plates to enhance the macromechanical interlocking. The parameter details of the surface structures are shown in Table 3, while the models and printed plates with different surface structures are presented in Figure 1.…”

“…To enhance the joint strength of non-polar UHMWPE and TC4, mechanical interlocking is a better choice. Thus, complex structures are normally fabricated on the surfaces of metals [8,9,[13][14][15][16][17][18]. For example, inspired by the roots of mangrove trees, Alsheghri et al [13] introduced a new mechanical interlocking technique to strengthen metal-polymer interfaces by manufacturing Y-shaped features on metallic surfaces using laser sintering.…”

“…By structuring grid arrays on the Al plate, they demonstrated that the microscopic structure of the metal plate was a major factor in the joining strength, which promoted the micromechanical interlocking. Until now, there has been little research on the joining of UHMWPE to TC4, except for the work by Chen's group [9,17,18]. According to Chen et al, UHMWPE and TC4 were successfully joined via friction spot joining (FSpJ), which was achieved by manufacturing a diamond-shaped porous architecture on a TC4 plate via electron beam melting (EBM) technology.…”

In order to enhance the joint performance of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy (TC4) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for biomedical applications, different structures were fabricated on TC4 surfaces via electron beam melting (EBM) method in this study. Macromorphologies and microinterfaces of TC4–UHMWPE joints produced via hot pressing technique were carefully characterized and analyzed. The effects of different surface structures on mechanical properties and fractured surfaces were investigated and compared. Strong direct bonding (1751 N) between UHMWPE and TC4 was achieved. The interfacial bonding behavior of TC4–UHMWPE joints was further discussed. This study demonstrates the importance of combining macro- and micromechanical interlocking, which is a promising strategy for improving metal–polymer joint performance. It also provides guidance for metal surface structuring from both theoretical and practical perspectives.

“…In this regard, sand blasting of AA2024 aluminium alloy sheet and surface pre-treatments on the carbon-fibre-reinforced poly (phenylene sulphide) composite were proposed as very effective in improving the mechanical performance of dissimilar spot weldments [23, 25]. The same results on effective bonding mechanisms were reported on FSSW of TC4 titanium alloy and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) by Chen et al [26], with a maximum interfacial strength of 17.2 MPa. By employing some slight modification on the traditional FSSW process and threading the shoulder hole to increase the mechanical interlocks between metal and polymer, Karami Pabandi et al [27] were able to reach some new results on dissimilar joint strength between AA5052 aluminium alloy and short-carbon-fibre-reinforced polypropylene (PP-SCF) reported as a considerable improvement.…”

A novel solid-state manufacturing technology called as fed friction-stir (FFS) process was introduced based on the well-established friction-stir welding (FSW) for fabrication of metal-polymer nanocomposite by dissimilar joining, and implemented on a system of AA6082 aluminium alloy and poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) polymer in the T-joint design. FFS technology was found very effective in strengthening the weld nugget and enhancing the dissimilar nanocomposite joining efficiency between aluminium and polymer with respect to FSW without reinforcing agent. Injection of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles with a high-concentration inside the lower region of weld nugget resulted in decreasing the cooling rate and thickness of interaction layer at the interface as well as a considerable increase in the tensile strength of nanocomposite joint up to ∼ 20% (60 MPa).

“…Mechanical fastening and adhesive bonding are commonly applied in joining a metal and a polymer; however, these methods have some drawbacks, such as low joining efficiency and a high environmental impact [ 1 ]. New joining processes have been developed recently involving laser joining, ultrasonic joining, and friction-assisted joining to exploit the possibility of obtaining high-quality joints of metals and polymers [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. These methods may play an important role in different applications; however, ultrasonic joining is limited to small components with joining lengths typically not exceeding a few centimeters; and friction-assisted joining requires very stiff clamping system due to high loads involved during the processes.…”

To address the difficulty of joining polystyrene (PS) and titanium by laser transmission joining, two methods—laser treatment of the titanium surface and oxygen plasma treatment of the PS surface—are used to compare the laser transmission joint strengths of the different treatment methods. The results of the experiments find that joining with titanium can be achieved only when PS is treated with oxygen plasma. When the laser-treated surface of titanium is jointed to the oxygen plasma-treated PS, the joint strength is the highest, reaching 6.5 MPa. The joining mechanism of oxygen plasma-treated PS and laser oxidation-treated titanium was investigated by joint tensile failure mode, joint micromorphology observation, contact angle and surface free energy experiments, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the failure mode of the joint is an interfacial failure; the size and amount of bubbles play an important role in the joining strength, and the joints with fine and uniform bubbles have the highest joint strength. The two surface treatment methods can improve the surface energy of the joints, improve the compatibility between the two joining surfaces, and enhance the joint strength. Ti–C and Ti–O chemical bonds are formed at the joints, which are the main reason for the increase in joint strength.
