Our ability to optimize and consistently control polymer-glass adhesion is an important property in many glass laminate applications. This poster will review recent rate-dependent peel testing studies that highlight significant differences in adhesion performance between polymer encapsulants and glass surfaces. Coupling quantitative AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) with XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and ToF-SIMS (Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) analyses of the debonded layers has provided new understanding linking adhesion failure mode with interfacial chemistry.
