Abstract
Coupling agents are primarily used to: (a) promote adhesion between the adherends and adherates1 or reinforcing media in the case of composites; (b) maintain improved adhesion as a function of aging; and (c) protect against the deleterious effects of water and corrosive environments. Silanes are the most commonly used coupling agents, and the adhesion of polymers to glass and metals can be significantly improved by applying certain trialkoxysilanes to the adherend surface.2,3Keywords
