Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a composite article that may include a plastic component, and a silicone component bonded the plastic component. The plastic component and the silicone component may be bonded at an intersecting region between a first surface of the plastic component and a first surface of the silicone component. The intersecting region may include at least one of an acetone content of not greater than about 0.2 ppm, an MEK content of not greater than about 0.2 ppm, or a trimethylsilanol content of not greater than about 0.2 ppm.
Claims19
A method for forming a composite structure, wherein the method comprises:
- providing a plastic component;
- applying a plasma surface treatment to a first surface of the plastic component;
- providing a silicone component;
- applying a plasma surface treatment to a first surface of the silicone component;
- and
- compressing the plastic component and the silicone component together to form the composite structure, wherein the first surface of the plastic component contacts a first surface of the silicone component, wherein compressing the silicone component and plastic component together occurs not greater than about 30 seconds after the plasma surface treatment to the first surface of the plastic component.
