Adhesive 2-layer lamination joints of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/epoxy resin were prepared without the use of hot press using a new adhesion method of applying homogeneous low energy electron beam irradiation (HLEBI) to the PET prior to assembly by hand pressure. HLEBI treatment within the range of 0.13 to 0. , which were more than 2.2, 2.8 and 9.5 times larger than 5.76, 13.5 and 20.0 Nm ¹1 of the untreated at low-, median-and high peeling force accumulative probability, P p of 0.06, 0.50 and 0.94, respectively. The statistically lowest o F p for safety design (F s at P p = 0) iterated by the 3-parameter Weibull equation was raised from zero for the untreated to 10.7 Nm ¹1 for the 0.30 MGy samples indicating increased reliability by the HLEBI. XPS (X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) observations of the peeled 0.30 MGy HLEBI PET revealed generation of a C-O peak at 286 eV possibly explaining the increased adhesion. Therefore residual epoxy deposition is apparently found to be retained on the PET sheet by inter-matrix fracture of epoxy resin further into the thickness. This can be explained by the adhesion force from crosslinking between PET/epoxy being stronger than the cohesive force of epoxy polymer itself. Since the experimental data shows the optimum HLEBI dose is about 0.30 MGy, above which at 0.43 MGy the o F p begins to drop, carefulness in optimization is highly recommended when applying in industry to insure safety.
Electron spin resonance spectrum, which can be interpreted to be due to dangling bonds in highly disordered layers produced by 200-keV N-ion implantation in GaP crystals, has been observed. The spectrum is symmetrical, Lorentzian, and isotropic with g=2.0032+0.0004 and a linewidth of ∼6 G and appears only in the case of high dose implantation at doses of 5×1015 cm−2 or above. The isochronal annealing curve of the spectrum has two normal annealing stages and one reverse annealing stage. The reverse and the subsequent normal annealing stages shift toward higher temperatures with increasing ion dose.
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.
