Deformable Layer Theory

This theory postulates that the interface zone is plastic, allowing stresses between the polymer and mineral surfaces to self-relieve without bond rupture. Internal stresses are thus reduced. It has been suggested that in the case of a silane, the film is too thin to allow this [11]. However, it is possible that the presence of the coupling agent might cause preferential adsorption. Credence for this view is given by the number of
