Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of modifying the surface of a solid polymer substrate and the product obtained.
  • Untreated or unmodified polymer substrates are in general difficult to paint, print on or adhere to. Particularly, it is difficult to achieve a bonding between an untreated polymer surface and an organic top layer.
  • the surface treatments normally used are flaming, chemical treatment with chrome sulphuric acid, or corona treatment. Flaming is the simplest method. In this method the substrate surface is stroked by a flame. Both the flaming treatment and the chemical treatment are very rough methods which may weaken the cohesiveness of the polymer substrate. Further, it is normally preferred to avoid the use of strong acids in the production.
  • One of the problems of using flame treatment is that the method is not controllable. Often the surface of the polymer is severely degraded due to this treatment.
  • corona treatment By use of this method a number up small sparks are created on the substrate surface (a silent discharge). These sparks often result in an erosion of the surface as well in a generation of free radicals.
  • the free radicals are normally terminated by reaction with oxygen.
  • the grafting is initiated by a treatment of a LD-PE substrate surface with argon plasma for 5 minutes, whereby free radicals are generated. Thereafter, or simultaneously, the surface is treated with one of the following monomers: Acrylic acid, glycidyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxy ethylacrylate and methyl acrylate.
  • the grafting time was from 7 to more than 90 minutes.
  • the contact angle against water for the (acrylic acid monomer) treated LD-PE surface was improved from about 91.5° to about 38°. However, it was not tested if the affinity between the treated LD-PE surface and an organic binder actually was improved. It was finally concluded that the method is too slow to be of direct industrial application.
  • a similar method of plasma treatment of PTFE surfaces is described in JP patent application No. 55-131026.
  • a PTFE surface was treated with a He gas plasma for 2-10 minutes and simultaneously treated with N,N-dimethylaniline, N-monomethylaniline, aniline, benzonitrile, benzamide or pyridine monomers.
  • An oxygen plasma treatment of PTFE was conducted without monomer treatment, and peel tests of the PTFE samples showed that there was no significant difference in peel resistance between the PTFE surfaces that were treated with monomers and the PTFE surfaces that were only treated with oxygen plasma. Actually, the latter had a better peel resistance than the monomer treated surfaces.
  • a method of electroless plating is described in JP application No. 92-240189.
  • a PTFE substrate is irradiated with UV laser in the presence of amine or amide followed by an immersing in an electroless metal plating solvent. This result in a good bonding of the plated metal to the substrate.
  • this method can only be used for adhering thin metal layers to polymer substrates.
  • JP patent application No. 90-081728 Another method for treatment of a fluorinated polymer is described in JP patent application No. 90-081728.
  • a polymerisable monomer selected between acrylic acid, styrene sulphonic acid and acrylamide is grafted onto the surface of the resin by coating the surface with a monomer solvent, followed by irradiation of the surface with UV laser.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a industrially applicable method of binding a polymer substrate to an organic binder material, which method results in an improved binding strength.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an industrially applicable method of modifying a polymer surface, by use of which method the surface affinity against organic binder material is improved.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a fast method of modifying a polymer surface, by use of which method the surface affinity against organic binder material is improved.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a method of modifying a polymer surface, which does not result in any severe depolymerization of the polymer substrate, in particular when the substrate material exhibits fluorine and/or tertiary carbon atoms, and by use of which method the surface affinity against organic binder material is improved.
  • Plasma treatment of polymer surfaces is e.g. used for cleaning purpose.
  • the generated radicals are often terminated by reaction with oxygen.
  • the polymer substrate can be of any polymer material provided that free radicals are created on the surface of the material when it is subjected to a gas plasma and/or treated with UV light.
  • the polymer substrate is a silicon rubber, a polyolefin, or another thermoplastic.
  • the thermoplastic is preferably selected between polytetra-fluoroethylene (PTFE), tetra-fluoroethylene-hexa-fluoropropylene-copolymer (FEP), polyvinyl-difluoride (PVDF), polyamides, such as e.g. nylon 6.6 and nylon 11, and polyvinyl-chloride (PVC).

  • polyamides such as e.g. nylon 6.6 and nylon 11
  • PVC polyvinyl-chloride
  • the polyolefin is preferably polypropylene (PP) or poly (4-methyl-1-pentene) (PMP)
  • the substrate can have any shape and any size.
  • the polymer substrate is in the form of film, sheet, pipe, rod, porous or non-porous body, fabric, non-woven fabric, fibres or threads.
  • the polymer substrate is produced by injection moulding.
  • the wavelength and the intensity of the UV light are selected depending on the constitution of the polymer.
  • a skilled person can by use of ordinary techniques optimise the method by selecting wavelength and intensity of the UV light as well as selecting the time of radiation.
  • the time of radiation should naturally be sufficiently long to create the radicals on the surface.
  • the time of radiation should not be too long, as this might result in degradation of the substrate.
  • the generation of radicals on the substrate surface is preferably obtained by subjecting the substrate to a gas plasma.
  • the plasma can be generated by any known methods, but preferably the gas plasma is generated by excitation of a gas in a direct current (DC), audio frequency (AF), radio frequency (RF) or microwave (MW) generated electric field. Most preferably the gas plasma is generated by excitation of a gas in a direct current (DC) or by exitation using radio frequency (RF).
  • the intensity of the used gas plasma should preferably have a level ensuring creation of radicals in the polymer surface. If the level is too high, this may result in severe damage of the bulk-polymer (depolymerization). Hence, the powerlevel of the plasma should be optimized so that surface radicals are created, but no serious damage is made to the bulk.
  • a preferred method of generating a plasma is described in the applicant's European patent application No. EP 96610018.2.
  • gas is subjected to an electric field generated by an electrode system comprising n electrodes, n being an integer greater than or equal to 3, preferably between 3 and 30, each of the n electrodes being connected to one of the following AC voltages:

  • the monomer mixture prior to vaporization consists of a mixture of 60 to 97 weight-% of 2-ethyl cyano acrylate, up to 10 weight-% of polyphosphoric acid and up to 40 weight-% of another filler.
