Hello

Here are some options:

1. Cross linking between polymer and metal: depending on the type of polymer or metal you may be able to bind functional groups on them and cross link

2. Plasma treatment of the surfaces is another approach.

3. I think it worth if you can read a chapter titled Adherends and Bonding Technology in a the "Handbook of Adhesives"

As I have done spin coating of PDMS upon Al Foil, So may be in your case you can use spin coating technique upon your metal with your respective polymer.

Its all depends upon your metal morphology, is it a wire or particles or a film?

Hello,

You can do the following method to improve the adhesion.

1. using silanes as adhesion promoters. The do a fairly well job.

2. roughen the surface by sandpaper or blasting to increase the anchoring sites where the polymer will form anchors.

3. Use low molecular weight polymer, it is likely to have better adhesion. High molecular weight leads to cohesion in the film and film resists bonding to metals.

Good Luck!

Thank you all very much.

Actually the metal is supposed to be a bulk cube

but the polymer as a thin film

and the durable adherence is really really important cause any release of the polymer is of a critical danger generating

besides it is preferred not to use toxic materials

Hi Seyede, In my experience the roughness of the surface and the cleaning of it play a very important role in terms of mechanical connection. Depending on the type of polymer and your metal surface, you can "activate" the surface by various methods with chemically functional groups and radicals on the surface.

If you want to get any detailed answer you might provide more data on your case. What is the surface to coat, which material, which treatment possibilities are available and so on.

Thank you all for the guidance
