Adhesion and Energy Characteristics of Rigid-Chain Polymer Surface: Polyamidoimides

The adhesion characteristics and surface energies of two series of polyamidoimides (PAI) with different molecular weights, monomer unit structures, hinge groups in the main chain of the macromolecules, and thermal prehistory were determined via delamination at 180° and test fluids contact angles. We...

description The adhesion characteristics and surface energies of two series of polyamidoimides (PAI) with different molecular weights, monomer unit structures, hinge groups in the main chain of the macromolecules, and thermal prehistory were determined via delamination at 180° and test fluids contact angles. We found that PAI are high-energy polymers, the surface energy of which varies in the range from 32 to 45 mJ/m<sup>2</sup>. In contrast to flexible-chain polymers, the exponent in the McLeod equation is two, which is due to the flat parallel orientation of the macromolecular chains in the surface layers. The main contribution to the change in surface characteristics of these polymers is the change in the packing density of PAI macromolecules, which is reflected mainly in the change in the polymers’ dispersion component. We found that the adhesion properties of PAI with respect to high- and low-energy substrates are determined mainly by the macromolecules packing density in the surface layers with their conformation state unchanged.
