Abstract
An improved method for adhering a solid polymer component to a substrate is provided. An intermediate polymer adhesion promoting coating of metal oxide is applied to the substrate which enhances the adhesion of the subsequently applied solid polymer component to the substrate.
Claims41
A method of making an article of a solid polymer adherently joined to a substrate which comprises:
- a) providing a substrate;
- b) applying at least one polymer adhesion promoting coating of a metal oxide selected from the group consisting of an oxide of copper and an oxide of a copper-containing alloy in adherent contact with at least a portion of a surface of the substrate;
- and,
- c) applying a solid polymer component in adherent contact with at least a portion of a surface of the polymer adhesion promoting coating of metal oxide.
