Factors affecting the physical strength of bonding

Factors affecting the physical strength of bonding:
With the development of economy, people’s living standards continue to improve, and the requirements for the quality of consumer goods are getting higher and higher. Plasma technology will gradually enter the consumer goods production industry. In addition, with the continuous development of science and technology, various technical issues continue to be raised. With the continuous emergence of materials, more and more scientific research institutions have realized the importance of plasma technology and invested a lot of money in technical research. Plasma technology has played a very important role in it. However, if the factors that affect plasma cleaning and bonding are not handled properly, it will affect the bonding problems on the surface of the plasma cleaned object. Chengfeng Zhizhi Shenzhen plasma cleaning machine equipment manufacturer lists what are the influencing factors.
1. Surface roughness of plasma cleaner equipment:
When the adhesive well infiltrates the surface of the material to be adhered (contact angle θ<90°), the roughening of the surface is beneficial to increase the degree of infiltration of the adhesive liquid on the surface, increase the density of the contact point between the adhesive and the material to be adhered, and thus help improve the adhesion.接 Strength. Conversely, when the adhesive does not infiltrate the material to be adhered (θ>90°), the roughening of the surface is not conducive to the improvement of the bonding strength. To
2. Surface treatment of plasma cleaner equipment:
The surface treatment before bonding is the key to successful bonding, and its purpose is to obtain a strong and durable joint. Due to the existence of the "weak boundary layer" formed by the oxide layer (such as rust), chrome plating, phosphating layer, release agent, etc. of the adherend, the surface treatment of the adherend will affect the bonding strength. For example, the surface of polyethylene can be treated with hot chromic acid oxidation to improve the bonding strength. When heated to 70-80°C for 1-5 minutes, a good bondable surface will be obtained. This method is suitable for polyethylene plates, thick Wall tube etc. When the polyethylene film is treated with chromic acid, it can only be carried out at room temperature. If it is carried out at the above temperature, the surface treatment of the film will adopt plasma or micro flame treatment. When the surface of natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber and neoprene is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid, it is hoped that the rubber surface will be slightly oxidized. Therefore, the sulfuric acid must be thoroughly washed off in a short time after acid application. Excessive oxidation instead leaves more fragile structures on the rubber surface, which is not conducive to bonding. To
When locally bonding the vulcanized rubber surface, remove the release agent from the surface treatment, and it is not advisable to use a large amount of solvent to wash, so as not to prevent the release agent from spreading to the treated surface and hinder the bonding. In the surface treatment of aluminum and aluminum alloys, it is hoped that aluminum oxide crystals will be generated on the aluminum surface, while the naturally oxidized aluminum surface is a very irregular and relatively loose aluminum oxide layer, which is not conducive to bonding. Therefore, the natural aluminum oxide layer needs to be removed. However, excessive oxidation will leave a weak layer in the bonded joint. To
3. Penetration:
The bonded joints are often infiltrated into some other low-molecular molecules under the influence of the environmental atmosphere. For example, when the joint is in a humid environment or underwater, water molecules penetrate into the glue layer; the polymer glue layer is in an organic solvent, and solvent molecules penetrate into the polymer. The penetration of low molecules first deforms the adhesive layer, and then enters the interface between the adhesive layer and the adherend. Decrease the strength of the adhesive layer, which leads to the destruction of the bond. Penetration not only starts from the edge of the adhesive layer. For porous adherends, low-molecular substances can also penetrate into the adherend from the voids, capillaries or cracks of the adherend, and then penetrate into the interface, causing defects or even damage to the joint. . Penetration will not only lead to a decrease in the physical properties of the joint, but also chemical changes in the interface due to the penetration of low-molecular substances, resulting in a corrosion zone that is not conducive to bonding, making the bonding completely invalid. To
4. Migration:
Adhesive materials containing plasticizers, because these small molecules have poor compatibility with polymer macromolecules, they are easy to migrate from the polymer surface or interface. If the migrated small molecules accumulate on the interface, it will hinder the bonding of the adhesive and the material to be adhered, resulting in bonding failure. To
5. Pressure:
When bonding, apply pressure to the bonding surface to make it easier for the adhesive to fill the holes on the surface of the adherend, and even flow into the deep holes and capillaries, reducing bonding defects. For adhesives with low viscosity, they will flow excessively when pressurized, resulting in lack of glue. Therefore, pressure should be applied when the viscosity is high, which will also promote the escape of gas on the surface of the adherend and reduce the pores in the bonding area. To
For thicker or solid adhesives, applying pressure during bonding is an indispensable means. In this case, it is often necessary to increase the temperature appropriately to reduce the consistency of the adhesive or to liquefy the adhesive. For example, the manufacturing of insulating laminates and the molding of aircraft rotors are all carried out under heating and pressure. To
In order to obtain higher bonding strength, different pressures should be considered for different adhesives. Generally, high pressure is applied to solid or high-viscosity adhesives, and low pressure is applied to low-viscosity adhesives. To
6. Adhesive layer thickness:
The thicker adhesive layer is prone to bubbles, defects and early fracture. Therefore, the adhesive layer should be made as thin as possible to obtain higher bonding strength. In addition, the thermal expansion of the thick adhesive layer after heating causes greater thermal stress in the interface area, which is more likely to cause joint damage.
7. Load stress:
The stress acting on the actual joint is complex, including shear stress, peeling stress, and alternating stress. To
(1) Shear stress: due to eccentric tension, stress concentration occurs at the bonding end. In addition to the shear force, there is also a tensile force consistent with the interface direction and a tearing force perpendicular to the interface direction. At this time, under the action of shear stress, the greater the thickness of the adherend, the greater the strength of the joint. To
(2) Peeling stress: When the adherend is a soft material, peeling stress will occur. At this time, there are tensile stress and shear stress acting on the interface, and the force is concentrated on the bonding interface between the adhesive and the adherend, so the joint is easily broken. Since the peeling stress is very destructive, try to avoid the use of joints that will produce peeling stress in the design.
