...M. Bahrami; M. M. Yovanovich; E. E. Marotta A compact analytical model is proposed for predicting thermal joint resistance of rough polymer-metal interfaces in a vacuum. The model assumes plastic deformation at microcontacts and joint temperatures less than the polymer’s glassy temperature...

...Qizhou Yao; Jianmin Qu Debonding of polymer-metal interfaces often involves both interfacial and cohesive failure. Since the cohesive strength of polymers is usually much greater than the polymer-metal interfacial strength, cohesive failure near the interface is usually desired for enhancing...
