The low quality of adhesion performance on polymeric surfaces has forced the development of specific pretreatments able to toughen the interface between substrate and adhesive. Among these methods, atmospheric pressure plasma treatment (APPT) appears particularly suitable for its environmental compatibility and its effectiveness in altering the chemical state of the surface. In this work, an experimental study on adhesively bonded joints realized using polyamide as substrates and polyurethane as the structural adhesive was carried out with the intent to characterize their fatigue behavior, which represents a key issue of such joints during their working life. The single lap joint (SLJ) geometry was chosen and several surface pretreatments were compared with each other: degreasing, abrasion (alone and followed by APPT) and finally APPT. The results show that the abrasion combined with APPT presents the most promising behavior, which appears consistent with the higher percentage of life spent for crack propagation found by means of DIC on this class of joints with respect to the others. APPT alone confers a good fatigue resistance with respect to the simple abrasion, especially at a low number of cycles to failure.

In this work the immobilization of hybrid polyoxometalates (POMs) onto functional polymeric surfaces is exposed and discussed. Thus, various hybrid polymer‒inorganic films were prepared by anchoring selected hybrid POMs onto tailored polymeric surfaces that consisted of breath figures (BFs) made of polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid)/polystyrene (PS-b-PAA/PS) blends. Functionalization of the BF films was performed by selective arrangement of acrylic acid groups of the amphiphilic block copolymer on the surface pores because of their affinition for the water condensed during breath figure formation. These carboxylic acid functional groups contained within the PAA blocks were then employed to anchor [Cu(cyclam)][{Cu(cyclam)}2(V10O28)]·10H2O (1-CuV10) and [{Cu(cyclam)}(VO3)2]·5H2O (1-CuV1), hybrid POMs by immersing the films into aqueous solutions of the in situ formed hybrid clusters, resulting in the hybrid films BF1 and BF2, respectively. Superficial analysis of these hybrid polymeric films was carried out by the sophisticated ion beam-based technique time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) that was revealed to be an excellent method for the superficial compositional mapping of patterned surfaces.
