Adhesion in solids; Proceedings of the Symposium, Reno, NV, Apr. 5-7, 1988

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5948256

The present conference on adhesion phenomena in solids discusses topics in fracture mechanics, tribology, postdeposition treatments, deposited inorganic films, the adherence of natural layers and surface treatment of polymers, and analytical techniques. Attention is given to the mechanics of the peel test for thin-film adhesion, the direct observation of friction at the atomic scale, the enhancement of thin-film adhesion by MeV-ion and keV electron bombardment, metal-ceramic interfacial reactions, the adhesion of growing oxides to metallic substrates, polyimide adhesion as a function of substrate structure, the surface characterization of sputter-etched polymer films, photochemical changes of Al films on Si, and thin-film adhesion to ion-bombarded surfaces.
