In further testing, scanning electron microscopy was used
to examine the polymer-to-titanium bond.
Suspicious areas
were then subjected to chemical analysis, in which the primer,
adhesive, and titanium surfaces revealed potential factors that
could compromise bonding integrity.
Cause-and-effect analysis
of the adhesive bonding process gave PDI the information
needed to develop a manufacturing process that would provide
necessary bond integrity.

While PK and PA are both semi-
crystalline and contain an abundance of carbon and
oxygen, polyketone lacks the nitrogen present in
the amide bond of the nylon backbone.
