Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We successfully developed and demonstrated the use of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) irradiation in the bonding of various substrates, including polycarbonate (PC), cyclic olefin polymer (COP), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). In contrast to previous applications of this technique, the present study used VUV radiation at wavelengths below 160 nm so as to take advantage of the higher energy in this range. We also analyzed VUV modified surface by water contact angle measurements, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). As a result, it was found that the bonding mechanism would rely on both surface roughness and hydroxyl group concentration induced by VUV irradiation.
