Abstract
Ultraviolet photografting of acrylic acid onto low density polyethylene was characterized using XPS and contact angle measurement. Effects of surface modification at LDPE and aluminum on LDPE/Al laminate were also investigated. Contact angle decreased significantly at initial state arid tends to level off with increasing UV irradiation time. The improvement of hydrophilicity was due to the presence of acrylic acid on LDPE surface. Graft of acrylic acid onto LDPE was also identified from O1s/C1s ratios in XPS spectrum. Adhesion strength of LDPE-g-AAc/Al laminate showed about 30 times higher than LDPE/A1 system and it could be attributed to the increase of polarity of LDPE surface. Chemical treatment of Al surface using sulfuric acid/sodium dichromate also increased the adhesion strength of LDPE/Al laminate. Adhesion strength of LDPE/Al laminate decreased significantly under acetic acid.
