Abstract:The mechanical properties, adhesion and roughness of polymer coatings depend on many factors, including
the unevenness of the substrate surface. Nevertheless, the influence of the substrate surface roughness is
related to the coating type and substrate material and the used deposition method. Therefore, the effect
of the surface roughness of a structural steel substrate on the mechanical properties of a PEEK coating is
ambiguous. The indentation tests conducted show that, at a specific load of the indenter, th… Show more
