Results were presented of a mass spectrometric study which revealed the atomic-molecular mechanism of the reaction on the polymer-metal interface in experiments with a model nonadhesive joint of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) irradiated with UV light with a metallic substrate. The kinetics of formation of methyl metharcrylate (MMA) during the experiment from destruction of the contact to the end of thermal decomposition of the applied layer of PMMA are shown. The study of the dependence of the amount of PMMA transferred from the irradiated sample to the tantalum substrate on the temperature of contact formation showed it was exponential in the case of nonirradiated PMMA.
