dcterms.abstractThis study investigates the adhesion properties of polycarbonate (PC) and liquid silicone rubbers (LSR) through surface activation using ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation. While self-adhesive LSRs adhere easily to certain thermoplastic composites such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyamides (PAs), bonding to PC typically requires surface treatment due to the lack of compatible functional groups. Previous methods like plasma or flame treatment have been effective, but the use of UVC radiation for surface activation remains unexplored. Through experiments, it was found that UVC surface activation, particularly with ozone-generating lamps, significantly enhances the peel strength between PC and self-adhesive LSRs. The study evaluates the impact of different irradiation times and lamp configurations on peel resistance, surface energy, and composite stability. Results show that UVC/ozone (wavelengths 254 nm and 185 nm) activation increases peel resistance, with distinct differences observed between LSR types. Additionally, the study examines the stability of UVC activation over time and under various storage conditions, highlighting its effectiveness for up to 36 months at room temperature. Furthermore, the relationship between surface energy and peel strength is analyzed, finding that UVC/ozone activation increases surface energy but does not consistently correlate with improved adhesion. The study concludes with a comparison of UVC/ozone activation to alternative surface treatment methods, emphasizing its advantages such as cost-effectiveness and stability while considering limitations regarding substrate compatibility and occupational safety aspects. Overall, UVC/ozone surface activation presents a promising approach for enhancing adhesion in PC–LSR composite systems and holds potential for applications across various industries.eng
