... oxidation of the bulk and the surface. It was shown that for a full characterization of oxidation processes in solid films all three parameters (degree of crystallinity, surface energy and OIT) needed to be taken into account. The correlations between the degree of crystallinity and OIT can be used...

... of tensile adhesion joints prepared with sealants and contaminated substrate surfaces typical of those encountered in practice. It is shown that surface energy measurements can provide a good prediction of adhesion performance, whilst surface tension measurements of uncured resealing materials indicate...

... as determined by the non-dispersive, γ n-d , component of the total surface energy. It is shown that gloss increase is associated with an increase in the substrate γ n-d . The exact pattern of this relationship cannot yet be established due to the narrow range of experimental data. Experiments carried out...

... that the strength of adhesion between any silicone sealant and the organic-coated substrate, as well as the extent of adhesive failure, depend on the substrate surface properties as quantified by the non-dispersive component of the substrate surface energy, γ n-d . A typical relationship is shown to exist...
