The Diffusion Theory of Adhesion

Abstract: A theory of adhesion of polymers to each other is suggested ; according to it adhesion of dissimilar polymers as well as auto-adhesion is explained by the diffusion of chainlike molecules segmentally or otherwise. Starting with this theory, the effects of various factors on the adhesion of polymers to each other are discussed. The factors considered are: duration of contact between adhesive and substrate, temperature, molecular weight of adhesive, molecular shape and polarity.

“…Diffusion adhesion: adhesion particularly effective with polymer chains where one end of the molecule diffuses into the other material (atoms diffuse from one particle to another). This adhesion can be applied in mutually miscible and compatible polymer [17]. This theory is relevant when temperature would be lower than the 'Glass transition temperature' (Tg) [18].…”

“…Voyutskii [1,12,13] appears to be the earliest supporter of mechanism number (1) as the rate controlling process for autohesion. This qualitative argument ascribes the increase in strength with time to diffusion of long chain molecules across the interface.…”

“…Allen [8] argues that the penetration of polymers into interstices of a metal surface involves a diffusion mechanism, although he admits that this is an extreme interpretation of the original proposals of Voyutskii [23] that deal with the inter-diffusion of polymers. Interdiffusion may, however, be operative in the adhesion of the polymer to primers and coupling agents, if a high degree of cross-linking or crystallinity is lacking [7].…”

“…The diffusion theory of adhesion proposes that the intrinsic adhesion arises from the mutual inter-diffusion of polymer molecules across the polymer/polymer interface [7,8,23,24]. For this inter-diffusion to occur the macromolecules, or chain segments of the polymers, need to possess sufficient mobility and exhibit mutual solubility.…”
