Influence of plasma on the shear bond strength of PAEKs to composite resin
The objective of this study was to investigate the influences of non-thermal plasma on the shear bond strength of PAEKs to composite resin.
If a surface is functionalized with plasma before bonding, the resulting bondings show a significant improvement in adhesion. Plasma can be used on a variety of materials: Metals, glass, ceramics and even natural materials such as wood and textiles react very well to plasma functionalization. For some of our customers, it is particularly important that many polymers with typical “non-stick” surfaces can be successfully bonded after plasma treatment through adhesion improvement.
