Abstract

The invention relates to a polymer composition, and to a semifinished plastics product, the surface of which has been formed at least to some extent from the polymer composition. The invention further relates to a production process associated therewith for the semifinished plastics product. A feature of the polymer composition is that it comprises from 50 to 99.7% by weight of a polymer and from 0.3 to 20% by weight of one or more adhesion-promoting additives. The invention further relates to plastics-metal hybrid components and production of these.

Claims (65)
