Abstract In order to qualify the reactivity of various aluminium and silicon oxide substrates for elastomer adhesion applications, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and rest-electrochemical potential measurements have been performed on those surfaces. The interpretation of XPS binding energy shift measurements in terms of Fermi level variation from one surface to another, as proposed by Mullins and Averbach in 1988, is discussed in view of results on an aluminosilicate compound surface. The correlation with electrochemical restpotential measurements on an anodized aluminium surface and a silane coupling agent is described and discussed. The possibility of surface reactivity assessment through correlated XPS and electrochemical measurements for metal oxides is demonstrated.
