COMPLEX SOLID-STATE PHYSICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF METAL LAYERS ON PLASTICS

Several plastics were coated with different metal layers. Different pl asma etching methods of plastics were used before deposition of metal layers. The adhesion strength depends on etching methods. With XPS it was shown that different bonds between C-C, C-H, C-Cl and C-O are exis ting. With X-ray diffraction methods it was found that decreasing peak intensities depend on increasing adhesion strengths.
