AB  - Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) has become a powerful 
      tool in the field of surface analysis since it provides information about the top 
      few monolayers of a sample, i.e. on the chemical composition of the sample 
      surface. Thus, the general question arises whether a surface-sensitive technique 
      like ToF-SIMS would be appropriate to detect systematic chemical and/or 
      structural changes in organic bulk polymers caused by varying a chemical content 
      of the initial components or by tracking, e.g. curing processes in such 
      materials. It is shown that careful sample preparation and the use of 
      multivariate methods permit the quantitative acquisition of chemical and 
      structural information about bulk polymers from the secondary ion signals. The 
      hardener concentration and a cross-linking coefficient in diglycidyl ether of 
      bisphenol A based epoxies were determined by ToF-SIMS measurements on samples 
      with different resin to hardener ratio and varying curing time. In future work, 
      we will use the developed method to investigate the local composition of 
      adhesively bonded joints. In particular, the mapping of the chemical and 
      structural properties in the so-called interphase will then be of interest.
