Abstract

A preliminary study of the adhesion of polymers to diamond substrates was conducted by examining the wetting characteristics of coupling agents to diamond. The contact angle between several commercial liquid coupling agents and a CVD diamond surface was measured. A silane, Z-6026, was found to wet the diamond surface. Several other coupling agents, including a titanate and an organometallic blend, wet the diamond surface significantly better than most of the other materials in this survey. It was found that water did not wet the diamond.
