Improvement of the adhesive capacity of SBR for footwear outsoles by surface activation and coating deposition with atmospheric pressure plasma

Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2021., 2021
The bond strength of styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR)/polyurethane adhesive/leather joints was improved by using atmospheric pressure plasma to activate and coat the SBR. For coated, flat SBR, this improvement was due to a considerable increase in surface polar carbon–oxygen groups.
