Abstract

The microstructure at the polymer-metal interface have been observed by the use of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). SERS spectra are compared with the infrared reflection – adsorption spectra for adhesive coatings of polymer on metals. Results show that SERS is an effective {in-situ} analytical technique which is highly informative in that the authentic adsorption state and the microstructure of the first monolayer near the metal surface can be revealed with much less interference from the polymer bulk. The ring opening reaction of an epoxy resin on top of chemisorbed coupling agents has been observed by the use of surface enhanced Raman scattering.
