This volume contains 17 papers originally presented at the
International Symposium on Adhesion Aspects of Thin
Films, held under the auspices of MST Conferences in Orlando, FL in December 2003. The
book is organized into three sections, including general papers, metallized plastics, and adhesion
measurement of thin films. Topics include the mechanics of adhesion, factors influencing adhesion,
surface modification by ion-assisted reactions, and adhesion of a variety of thin film materials on an array
of substrates.
From the Preface: “...Thin films are used for a myriad of applications ranging from mundane
(e.g., potato chip bags) to hightech. Thin films of all kinds of materials are used for a variety of
functions and purposes in microelectronics, optics. space, nanotechnology, tribology, biomedical and so
on. Irrespective of the intended function of a thin film it must adhere well to the underlying substrate.
So it becomes imperative to understand the factors dictating adhesion of thin films and devise ways
to control it to the desired level...”
Target Audience: Any researcher, technologist, or upper-level student interested in the adhesion
of thin films.
