Metals and fluoropolymers exposed to 0.5 to 1.0 keV argon ions at current densities of 0.2 to 1.5 mA/sq cm develop surface texturing that increases tensile and shear strength of epoxy bonds. Bonds are 46 to 100 percent stronger than those of chemically etched surfaces. Metals require 3 to 4 hours of bombardment to become properly textured. Fluoropolymers require 5 seconds to 30 minutes. Ion beam will not texture nickel. Unlike chemical treatments, bonding of fluoropolymers can be done days or months after ion treatment.
