Deformable sandwich sheet materials produced as raw materials and formed afterwards to complex geometries require a good bonding to guarantee a stable shear transfer between the single layers. However, due to the deformation, failures by delamination often occur between the epoxy and the metal. The aim of our work is to understand the basic effect of the interfaces’ bonding behavior in selected preparation steps of the system. It is shown how surfaces change topographically as well as in their chemical composition, if epoxy and steel layers get into contact with each other: The interaction between the two materials results in various functional carbon groups like C-C, C-O and C=O and in the reduction of iron according to the different preparation steps. These effects are studied with Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS).
