Abstract
Optimal adhesive bonding necessitates good and reproducible cleaning. A cleaning method based on the interaction of ultraviolet light and oz one gas has been developed and used The uv/ozone cleaning method is co mpared with soap cleaning, and with advanced gas plasma cleaning, the cleaning efficiency being characterized by spectroscopic data and cont act angle measurements. The (short- and long-term) influence of these cleaning methods on the long-term adhesive bond strength has been dete rmined experimentally and is discussed.
