The design of long-term stable and corrosion resistant
polymer/oxide/metal interfaces can be based on the interfacial analysis
of the chemical, electrochemical and microscopic structure. Mainly
in-situ analytical studies are of interest to reveal the mechanisms of
adhesion and de-adhesion under ambient conditions. Highlighted
techniques will be FTIR- and Raman spectroelectrochemistry, Chemical
Force Microscopy and the Scanning Kelvin Probe technique.
These methods can be combined with applied computational chemistry which
helps to analyze interfacial chemical bonds and adsorption processes
mainly on single crystalline oxide surfaces. Systems under investigation
are organosilanes and organophosphonic acids as molecular adhesion
promoters on zinc and aluminium oxides.
The thereby generated knowledge serves as basis for the design of highly
corrosion resistant organic coatings and adhesives on zinc, aluminum or
steel substrates.
The presentation gives an overview about the corresponding recent
research and tries to bridge the gap between the theoretical aspects of
interface chemistry and the technically relevant surface chemistry. |
