3101. Waugh, D.G., and J. Lawrence, “Laser surface engineering of polymeric materials for the modification of wettability and adhesion characteristics,” in Polymer Surface Modification to Enhance Adhesion: Techniques and Applications, Mittal, K.L., and A.N. Netravali, eds., 365-388, Scrivener, Mar 2024.

The popularity of surface engineering has increased significantly over the past 10 years. This is usually owed to the fact that, in many instances, no more can be done to improve a material's adhesion performance through manipulation of the bulk material. Due to this, many industrialists and academics are turning their attentions to controlling material surfaces to optimize their properties, including wettability and adhesion. With its numerous benefits, when it comes to materials processing, laser surface engineering is now becoming more widely used to bring about the necessary required surface modifications for a wide range of applications such as biomedical, microbiological, tooling, battery development and for applications in the electronics industry. This Chapter discusses the implementation of lasers for the surface engineering of polymeric materials along with contact angle goniometry and tensiometry, two common methods for analysis of the wettability and adhesion of materials that will lead to the unlocking of new knowledge about wetting and adhesion regimes.

Properties like adhesion of inkjet prints on unporous media are strongly determined by wetting characteristics of ink on media. In contrast to solvent based inks for UV-curable inkjet-systems the ink is not allowed to equilibrate on surfaces because the film is cured within a very short timeframe after jetting. Therefore the static surface tension is not able to characterise the ink-media interaction before the ink curing process is initiated. In a time-scale of milliseconds the dynamic surface tension measured with the maximum pressure bubble method can be used to describe the dynamic processes of ink on unporous media. In this paper we present a study of dynamic surface tension of mono-, di-, and trifunctional acrylates in order to evaluate the effect of molecular weight, structure and the behavior of mixtures on the resulting dynamic surface tension in UV-curable inkjet inks.

3086. Betton, E.S., G.D. Martin, and I.M. Hutchings, “The effects of corona treatment on impact and spreading of ink-jet drops on a polymeric film substrate,” in NIP26 and Digital Fabrication 2010 Technical Program Proceedings, 301-304, Society for Imaging Science and Technology, Sep 2010.

The effects of varying corona surface treatment on ink drop impact and spreading on a polymer substrate have been investigated. The surface energy of substrates treated with different levels of corona was determined from static contact angle measurement by the Owens and Wendt method. A drop-on-demand print-head was used to eject 38 μm diameter drops of UV-curable graphics ink travelling at 2.7 m/s on to a flat polymer substrate. The kinematic impact phase was imaged with a high speed camera at 500k frames per second, while the spreading phase was imaged at 20k frames per second. The resultant images were analyzed to track the changes in the drop diameter during the different phases of drop spreading. Further experiments were carried out with whitelight interferometry to accurately measure the final diameter of drops which had been printed on different corona treated substrates and UV cured. The results are correlated to characterize the effects of corona treatment on drop impact behavior and final print quality.

28. Blitshteyn, M., “Overview of technologies for surface treatment of polymers for automotive applications,” in International Congress and Exposition, Detroit, MI, Mar 1-5, 1993, Society of Automotive Engineers, Mar 1993.

This article reviews theoretical and practical aspects of electrical discharge plasma treatment for automotive parts at atmospheric pressure. Paints and bonding compounds adhere poorly to polyolefins because of their intrinsic non-polar chemical structure. Therefore, these materials require pretreatment before bonding and finishing to improve their adhesive properties. The electrical discharge plasma treatment at atmospheric pressure offers several advantages to automotive suppliers, such as the high treatment level, its repeatability and cost effectiveness, versatility of in-line processing, and the environmentally-safe nature of the process. Despite its increasing use, industry standards for surface treatment of plastic pa* have not been developed.
