POLY(ARYL ETHER) ADHESIVE COMPOSITIONS, POLYMER-METAL JUNCTIONS INCORPORATING POLY(ARYL ETHER) ADHESIVE COMPOSITIONS, AND CORRESPONDING FORMATION METHODS

摘要

Described herein are poly(aryl ether) (“PAE”) adhesive compositions including at least one PAE chelating agent. The PAE chelating agent is a PAE polymer. In some embodiments, the PAE adhesive composition can optionally include one or more poly(aryl ether ketone) polymers distinct from the PAE chelating agent. The PAE adhesive composition can be incorporated into polymer-metal junctions to improve the strength thereof. In some such embodiments, the adhesive composition can be disposed between a portion of the plastic component and a portion of the metal component of the polymer-metal junction. In some embodiments, the PAE adhesive compositions can be used in conjunction with one or more adhesion promoters distinct from the PAE adhesive composition. In some embodiments, polymer-metal junctions including the PAE chelating agent can be desirably incorporated in mobile electronic device components.
