8.18 POLYSTYRENE

Manufacturers of adhesion promoters suggest Resalloy 060 and Xibond 120, 140, 315,
330, 370, and 375 for HIPS and Amplify EA 100 & 101, Dow Corning Z-6076, Eastman
ester gum 8D resin, Geniosil GF 94, and Silquest A-1110 and Y-15744 for other polysty-
rene products.
A two-component silane adhesion-promoting mixture composed of 3-glycidoxypro-
pyltrimethoxysilane and a methylvinylsiloxanol was used to foster adhesion of polysty-
1
rene and polymethylmethacrylate. Once 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane reached the
buried PS layer, there was some ordering of the methoxy headgroups. 1
