Abstract:Polymer−polymer adhesion is critical in polymer processing and application areas where lamination, welding, composites, blending, and coextrusion are involved. Polyethylene terephthalate/polyamide (PET/PA) pairs are widely used to produce bicomponent fibers. The strong adhesion due to the formation of chemical bonds in the interfacial region limits postproduction fiber processing. The adhesion strength in the PET/PA systems showed that PET/PA66 had the highest adhesion energy, followed by PET/PA6, PET/PA11, an… Show more
