Abstract
A study on a model system for polymer-metal interface formation after surface treatment is presented. We discuss a comparative x-ray photoel ectron spectroscopy analysis of in situ plasma and ion-treated polypro pylene surfaces with an evaporated magnesium overlayer. The different surface treatments are found to enhance the sticking probability of th e metal vapor on the polymer surface considerably. Depending on the ki nd of surface treatment, different types of bonding of the Mg with the polymer are observed. The analysis of the excited plasmons is used to gain information about the interface formation. The experimental resu lts suggest an island growth mode of the Mg.
