The work determined the thermal source affecting rutile distribution in the PET coating: It originated in the manufacturing processes and thermomechanical treatments of the composite, and affected PET adherence on the steel. These results were contrasted with the behaviour of a non-heated coating to determine the conditions under which the ruffle exhibits changes on the PET coating. Measurements at cross-section and parallel intervals from the surface to the metal interface were made by FTIR-ATR and Raman vibrational spectroscopy techniques to characterise the rutile distribution in the PET thickness.展开更多
