If you think that beneath the surface, things are not what they appear, wait until you see the surface itself - things get even more complicated.

Success in developing polymer products often depends on ones ability to grasp and manipulate the variables that control the surface interactions between dissimilar materials. Consider these examples:

• Interlayers and float glass in safety glazing
• ZNO and PVC in resilient floors
• Alumina and PVB in ceramic "green tapes"
• Glass fibers and polymers in composite materials
• ATH and polypropylene in fire retarding materials
• Polymer films
• Nano-scale particles in UV curable coatings
• Forest and agricultural composites
• The human hand and winding guitar strings

Although each example is taken from a different industry, the success or failure of each application in service depends almost entirely on complex surface chemistry. The experts at Polymer Synergies routinely tackle tough surface chemistry problems and are ready to help.
