Synopsis : We investigated the adhesion between electrolytically chromium coated steel (ECCS) and poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) film by T-peel test. The ECCS and the PET film were heat sealed at a temperature between 80°C and 300•Ž, and then the peel strength was measured at a peel temperature of 20•Ž and a peel speed of 200 mm/min. The peel strength increased with increasing heat seal temperature up to 200•Ž, and then it slightly decreased with increasing heat seal temperature above 200•Ž because the molecular weight of the PET film decreased with the degradation of PET in this temperature range. Secondly, the peel strength of the sample heat sealed at 300•Ž was measured at a peel temperature between -30•Ž and 100•Ž and a peel speed between 1 mm/min and 1000 mm/min. The peel strength depended on the peel temperature and speed and then it was brought into the time-temperature superposition principle. The master curve obtained from the principle showed that the peel strength was large under the conditions of low temperature and high speed and it was small under the conditions of high temperature and low speed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
