Abstract
Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy was applied in order to analyze the interaction of the coated interface between two different polymers. The samples investigated were prepared by coating urethane paint on an ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (EAA) and on an ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer whose ethylester group had been partially hydrolyzed (EAA/EEA). It was demonstrated that a mixed phase was formed along the coated interface between the urethane paint and the EAA and between the paint and the EAA/EEA. The interaction between molecules of the polyurethane and the EAA was observed.
