The Chemical Composition of the Near-Surface Layer of Metal Substrates According to XPS Data and Its Effect on the Physical-Mechanical Properties of Acrylic Polymers

The chemical composition and energy state of a metal surface were analyzed by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in order to identify the content of oxygen-containing (oxide/hydroxide) compounds in the near-surface layer of metal (aluminum, brass, and copper) foils and their effect on the physical-mechanical properties of elastic acrylate polymers.
