    摘要: A method of activating a surface of a plastics substrate formed from:



    (a) polyaryletherketone such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK) polyether ketone ketone (PEKK), polyether ketone (PEK); polyether ether ketone ketone (PEEKK); or polyether ketone ether ketone ketone (PEKEKK);
    (b) a polymer containing a phenyl group directly attached to a carbonyl group, optionally wherein the carbonyl group is part of an amide group, such as polyarylamide (PARA);
    (c) polyphenylene sulfide (PPS); or
    (d) polyetherimide (PEI);
    for subsequent bonding,

    the method comprising the step of exposing the surface to actinic radiation wherein the actinic radiation:

    includes radiation with wavelength in the range from about 10 nm to about 1000 nm;
    the energy of the actinic radiation to which the surface is exposed is in the range from about 0.5 J/cm2 to about 300 J/cm2.




    Hard to bond substrates are then more easily subsequently bonded for example using acrylic, epoxy or anaerobic adhesive.
