Adhesion promoter compositions containing boron and methods thereof

Abstract

An adhesion promoter composition includes a species that may include BHx and a solvent. Implementations of the adhesion promoter composition may include a method of providing a stable, surface-modified substrate. The adhesion promoter composition may include a surfactant such as an anionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, or a nonionic surfactant, such as polyethylene glycol p-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-phenyl ether, a crown ether, a polysorbate, or a combination thereof. The adhesion promoter composition may include an activator such as ferric chloride, trimethyl borate, titanium tetrachloride, or a combination thereof. The species including BHx or may include ammonia borane, dimethylamine borane, trimethylamine borane, triethylamine borane, dicyclohexylamine borane, ethylenediamine bis-borane, tert-butylamine borane, diphenylphosphine borane, pyridine borane, borohydrides, or a combination thereof.
