The different mechanisms contributing to adhesion between two polymer surfaces are summarized and described in individual examples, which represent either seminal works in the field of adhesion science or novel approaches to achieve polymer–polymer adhesion. A further objective of this article is the development of new methodologies to achieve strong adhesion between low surface energy polymers.
Tetrapodal ZnO crystals are used for mechanical interlocking of PTFE and cross‐linked PDMS, classically non‐adhesive polymers. This novel approach is straightforward and easily applicable and leads to a peel strength that is higher than 200 N m−1 without chemical modification of the surfaces. The shape of these fillers emerged as a crucial aspect of the interlocking mechanism.
