Abstract
Thermography is based on the remote mapping of surface temperature distributions. When heat is appropriately applied to a sample, subsurface flaws can become projected onto the surface temperature profile due to differences between their thermal transfer properties and those of the bulk. Although not widely exploited in this area in the past, thermography can be an effective nondestructive means of monitoring polymer/metal bond continuity. This work examines the nature of thermographic detection techniques as they relate specifically to polymer/metal adhesion studies. The physical phenomena involved are reviewed, and a basic heat transfer model is presented as a prototype for quantitative analysis of thermographic data. Fundamentals of instrumentation and experimental techniques are outlined, and one specific experimental system is detailed. The application of thermography to polymer/metal adhesion studies is demonstrated by specific examples, and much of the previous pertinent work reported in the literature is referenced.
