Polyolefin Adhesion Modifications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polyolefin Compounds and Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

Polyolefins exhibit excellent properties and the knowledge of their adhesion that are very important for many applications such as those in packaging, building, automobile, aeronautic, aerospace, electronics, and sport industries. Poor surface adhesion represents a serious problem in situations where other laminates, films, or metallic layers are imparted onto polyolefins. Adhesion represents the contact between two solids, for instance, in coatings, polymer blends, paints, multilayered sandwiches, adhesive joints, or composites materials.
