Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a process for laminating works together that are capable of giving laminates a high bonding strength ensured therein. The process for laminating works together laminates a work composed of a resin to a work composed of a resin or glass, the process including a surface activation step of treating a laminating surface of at least the work composed of a resin with vacuum ultraviolet ray or with atmospheric pressure plasma, and a bonding step of bonding together the two works stacked on each other such that a laminating surface of one of the works abuts a laminating surface of the other work, wherein in the surface activation step, the treatment of the laminating surfaces with vacuum ultraviolet ray or with atmospheric pressure plasma is terminated when an accumulated treatment quantity of the vacuum ultraviolet ray or the atmospheric pressure plasma applied to the laminating surfaces is within an initial drop range shown in a variation curve of a water contact angle on the laminating surfaces with respect to the accumulated treatment quantity.

Claims (11)

1. A process for laminating together a first work composed of a resin and a second work composed of a resin, the process comprising:

a surface activation step of treating a laminating surface of the first work and a laminating surface of the second work with vacuum ultraviolet ray or with atmospheric pressure plasma, and

a bonding step of bonding the first work to the second work stacked on each other such that the laminating surface of the first work abuts the laminating surface of the second work, the bonding carried out by any one of methods (1) to (4) below,

wherein in the surface activation step, the treatment of the laminating surfaces with vacuum ultraviolet ray or with atmospheric pressure plasma is terminated when an accumulated treatment quantity of the vacuum ultraviolet ray or the atmospheric pressure plasma applied to the laminating surfaces is within an initial drop range shown in a variation curve of a water contact angle on the laminating surfaces with respect to the accumulated treatment quantity,

(1): a method of heating the first work and the second work,

(2): a method of pressurizing the first work and the second work in the direction of thickness of the works,

(3): a method of heating the first work and the second work while pressurizing the first and second works in the direction of thickness of the works, and

(4): a method of pressurizing the first work and the second work in the direction of thickness of the works, followed by releasing the pressure, and thereafter heating the works, and

wherein in the surface activation step, the treatment of the laminating surfaces with vacuum ultraviolet ray or with atmospheric pressure plasma is terminated before a water contact angle on the laminating surfaces becomes below 30°.

2. The process for laminating works together according to claim 1 , wherein in the surface activation step, the treatment of the laminating surfaces with vacuum ultraviolet ray or with atmospheric pressure plasma is terminated after a water contact angle on the laminating surfaces becomes below an initial water contact angle given prior to the surface activation step.

3. The process for laminating works together according to claim 1 , wherein a resin constituting the first work and the second work is a cycloolefin resin, an acrylic resin, or a silicone resin.
