Optimizing Surface Characteristics of Stainless Steel (SUS) for Enhanced Adhesion in Heterojunction Bilayer SUS/Polyamide 66 Composites.

ABSTRACT: The increasing environmental concerns and stringent regulations targeting emissions and energy efficiency necessitate innovative material solutions that not only comply with these standards but also enhance performance and sustainability. This study investigates the potential of heterojunction bilayer composites comprising stainless steel (SUS) and polyamide 66 (PA66), aiming to improve fuel efficiency and reduce harmful emissions by achieving lightweight materials. Joining a polymer to SUS is challenging due to the differing physical and chemical properties of each material. To address this, various surface treatment techniques such as blasting, plasma, annealing, and etching were systematically studied to determine their effects on the microstructural, chemical, and mechanical properties
