“…Thus when Cu, Cr, and Ni were deposited by evaporation onto polystyrene, and oxygencontaining polymers, the interfaces obtained with the latter were stronger (106). Evidence of metal-oxygen molecular bonds has been furnished by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps) (106)(107)(108)(109). Similar interactions have been reported at Cr, Cu, Ni, and Al interfaces with polyimide (110)(111)(112)(113).…”

Plastics can be coated with metals for decorative or functional purposes, or both. This article is broken down into four sections that are the four main techniques of metallizing: electroless plating, metal‐spraying, sputtering, and vacuum metallizing. The most important commercial process is electroless plating, which includes plating on plastics for automotive and decorative uses and the related technologies for printed circuits. Flame or arc spraying is mainly used for functional purposes such as radio‐frequency‐interference shielding. Sputtering and vacuum metallizing are widely used, often in continuous coating of plastic films where they are the predominant technologies. Other techniques such as metallic‐filled paints and hot stamping are also used. The beginning of these processes goes back 80–130 years, but many of these processes have only achieved commercial importance for coating of plastic materials relatively recently.

“…Burkstrand [8][9][10][11][12][13] reported that the interfacial adhesion strength between polymer and metal was significantly enhanced through complex formation of metal-oxygen-polymers when metal atoms were vapordeposited on oxygen-containing polymers by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the presence of interaction between the carbonyl group in PMMA and metal is verified by the changes in the XPS peak shapes of the oxygen atoms of PMMA. [9] The interaction between PMMA and oxidized aluminum surfaces was also studied using Fourier transform infra-red multiple specular reflectance spectroscopy and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy by Sondag and Raas.…”

“…4 In a different approach, chromium is deposited prior to copper to promote the adhesion of the copper film because it presents a high reactivity towards polymer films, including polyimides. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] However, the microscopic description of the interaction of chromium with polymer surfaces is still the subject of some controversy. Two main interpretations of the species present at the Cr/polymer interface consist in either chromium arene, [8][9][10] or chromium carbides.…”

“…Two main interpretations of the species present at the Cr/polymer interface consist in either chromium arene, [8][9][10] or chromium carbides. 5,11 In this work, the interaction of chromium with PPQ surfaces is followed by in situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ͑XPS͒. The interpretation is eased by comparison with CrN and chromium deposited on amorphous carbon surfaces.…”

Kinetic energy influences on the growth mode of metal overlayers on dendrimer mediated substrates J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A 21, 234 (2003); 10.1116/1.1531137 Evidence for metal interaction in gold metallized polycarbonate films: An x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigationThe very first stages of the chromium/polyphenylquinoxaline interface formation are investigated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data evidence that new carbon and nitrogen electron-rich species are formed, necessarily implying cycle opening and bond breaking, associated with polymer disruption. Complementary experiments performed on chromium nitride and on chromium deposited on amorphous carbon films show that mostly chromium carbides and nitrides are formed during chromium interaction with the polymer. The outermost topography is studied by ex situ near-field microscopies. Chromium, with its high reactivity towards the polymer, essentially grows in a layer-by-layer mode. However, for chromium coverages higher than 60 Å, a dense network of cracks spontaneously forms, indicating a mixed-mode failure ͑cohesive in the chromium film and adhesive at the interface͒.
