Preface
This volume documents the proceedings of the 7th Symposium on Metallized
Plastics: Fundamental and Applied Aspects held under the auspices of MST Con-
ferences in Newark, New Jersey, December 2-3, 1999. This event reflected a
continuation of the series of symposia initiated in 1988 to update and consolidate
on a regular basis the R&D activity in the arena of metallized plastics which over
the years has evinced tremendous interest from both fundamental and applied
points of view. The previous symposia in this series were held as follows: the
premier one in Chicago, October 10-12, 1988; the second in Montreal, Canada,
May 7-10, 1990; the third in Phoenix, Arizona, October 13-18, 1991; the fourth
in Honolulu, Hawaii, May 17-21, 1993; the fifth in Los Angeles, May 5-10,
1996; and the sixth in Paris, August 31-September 5, 1997. The proceedings of
these symposia have been well documented [1-5]. It should be recorded that the
earlier six events were held under the aegis of the Electrochemical Society, and
the proceedings of the 5th and 6th symposia were documented together in one
volume. Apropos, the 8th Symposium on this topic is scheduled to be held in
Newark, New Jersey, December 6-7, 2001.
Even a cursory look at the literature will evince that there is currently a brisk
R&D activity in the arena of metallized plastics, as the applications of metallized
plastics range from mundane to sophisticated. Also the development of novel sur-
face/interface analytical techniques has been a boon in unravelling interactions at
metal/polymer interfaces.
The technical program for this symposium contained 22 papers which reflected
novel and more efficient ways to metallize plastics, as well as to understand and
tailor metal/polymer interfaces.
This volume contains a total of 16 papers (others are not included for a variety
of reasons) addressing many aspects and new developments in the field of metal-
lized plastics. It should be recorded that all manuscripts were rigorously peer re-
viewed and suitably revised (some twice or thrice) before inclusion in this vol-
ume. So this volume is not a mere collection of unreviewed papers, rather it
reflects the information which has passed peer scrutiny.
This volume is divided into two parts: Part 1 "Metallization Techniques and
Properties of Metal Deposits"; and Part 2 "Interfacial and Adhesion Aspects".
The topics covered include: various metallization techniques for a variety of plas-
tics including some novel developments involving suitable plastic pretreatments;
modification of polymers by plasma and ion-assisted reaction; metal doped
plasma polymer films; metal-poly imide nanocomposite films; investigation of
vin Preface
metal/polymer interactions by a variety of techniques; ways to improve adhesion
of metal/polymer systems; modeling of metal/polymer interfaces; application of
surface analytical techniques in the arena of metallized plastics, and ultrathin
films on metal surfaces.
I sincerely hope that this and the preceding volumes [1-5] containing bountiful
information will be of interest to anyone interested, centrally or tangentially, in
the field of metallized plastics.
Acknowledgements
Now comes the pleasant task of thanking those who helped in a variety of ways.
First, it is a pleasure for me to express my sincere thanks to my colleague and
friend, Dr. Robert H. Lacombe, for taking care of myriad of details involved in
organizing this symposium. Also my thanks are extended to all the authors for
their interest, enthusiasm and contribution without which this book would not
have seen the light of day. The unsung heroes (reviewers) are thanked for their
time and efforts in providing valuable comments. Last, but not least, my appre-
ciation goes to the staff of VSP (publisher) for doing an excellent job in giving
this book a body form.
