Abstract
A silicon-modified organic surface is roughened by treatment with an oxygen containing plasma. If necessary the organic surface may be silicon-modified by treatment with a silicon containing material prior to plasma treatment. The roughened organic surface provides improved adhesion to other organic surfaces and to deposited metals. Improvements in methods for laminating organic surfaces and for depositing metals on organic surfaces which achieve improved adhesion are disclosed. Structures comprising laminated organic layers or metal deposited on organic surfaces which provide improved adhesion between the organic layers or between the metal and the organic surface are also disclosed.
Claims11
A method for making a laminate from two organic members, each having a first surface for interfacial contact, and at least one of the members selected from the group consisting of a silylated resin member and a member having silicon containing organic material deposited on the first surface, comprising the steps of:
- roughening the silicon containing first surface of the at least one member by subjecting it to an oxygen containing plasma, and
- pressing the roughened first surface together with the first surface of the other member.
