Abstract

The adhesion between nylon-6/aluminium is discussed in terms of mechanical interlocking mechanism on a microscopic scale. A new "shaft-loaded" blister test was adopted to measure simultaneously the adhesive properties of thin nylon-6 films. Fracture toughness is also measured by a double cantilever beam geometry. Variables including polymer film thickness, hot-press conditions and durability are also investigated.
