AB  - Indium tin oxide (ITO) is one of the most widely used semiconductor among 
      transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) due to their electrical conductivity and 
      optical transparency properties. Since the development of low temperature 
      deposition methods, coating of ITO on polymer substrates especially for use in 
      flexible electronics has been a popular topic. The existence of adequate adhesion 
      strength between ITO and polymer is critical in producing a successful film. 
      Nowadays, polycarbonate (PC), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and 
      polyethyleneterephtalate (PET) are frequently used as substrates for such 
      coatings. However, there may be other polymeric alternatives that have a 
      potential to be used for this purpose in the future. To evaluate these 
      alternatives, work of adhesion (W(a)) knowledge between ITO and polymers is 
      necessary, and it has not been handled systematically previously. In this study, 
      the interphase interaction parameters and W(a) values between ITO and various 
      polymers were calculated based on the Dupre, Fowkes and Girifalco-Good equations. 
      PC, PMMA, PET, polystyrene (PS), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), Nylon 66, 
      polypropylene (PP), polyvinylchloride (PVC), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), high 
      density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polyvinyl acetate 
      (PVAc), polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), 
      polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polytrifluoroethylene (PTrFE) and 
      polyperfluoroalkylethyl acrylate (PPFA) were considered as substrate material. 
      Surface free energy (SFE) components calculated by acid-base, geometric mean and 
      harmonic mean approaches for polymeric substrates were used during the 
      calculations. In the present study, the polymers that can be used as substrates 
      were evaluated in terms of adhesion ability to ITO, the significance of 
      calculation methods on W(a) values were also investigated simultaneously. It was 
      determined that the W(a) between ITO and polymer substrates was directly related 
      with the total SFE value of the polymers.
