Hk. Yun et al., EFFECTS OF THE IMIDIZATION TEMPERATURE OF POLY(IMIDE-SILOXANE) ON THEADHESION STRENGTH OF EPOXY-RESIN POLY(IMIDE-SILOXANE) JOINTS, Journal of adhesion science and technology, 8(12), 1994, pp. 1395-1411
The effects of the imidization temperature of poly(imide-siloxane) on
the adhesion strength of epoxy resin/poly(imide-siloxane) joints were
studied. The effects of the content and molecular weight of polydimeth
ylsiloxane in poly(imide-siloxane) on the adhesion strength were also
examined with samples of pyromellitic dianhydride-4,4'-oxydianiline (P
MDA-ODA) containing various amounts and molecular weights of aminoprop
yl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (SDA). The adhesion strength increa
sed with increasing imidization temperature in the air environment and
was found to be sensitive to the content and molecular weight of SDA.
The adhesion mechanism of epoxy resin/poly(imide-siloxane) joints was
investigated using various analytical techniques. The failure mode of
the joint was found to be cohesive in the poly(imide-siloxane) layer
very close to the interface.
