Part I. Stress and Adhesion Aspects of Thin Films
1. Independent Control of Refractive Index and Internal Stress in Tantalum Oxide Films Deposited by Pulsed and Inductively-Coupled-Plasma Assisted Pulsed Sputtering
8. Practical Adhesion of Electroless Ni Thin Films on Polymer Surfaces. A Novel Approach Combining Fragmentation Test with Electrical Resistance Measurements
This book is mostly based on papers presented at the Second International Symposium on this Adhesion Aspects of Thin Films (including Adhesion Measurement and Metallized Plastics) held in Savannah, Georgia. However, in addition to these papers, some other relevant papers have also been included to broaden the scope.
There is tremendous current interest in thin films because of their unique properties and applications in diverse technological areas for a variety of purposes, and their adequate adhesion to a host of substrates is of crucial importance in achieving their intended functions.
