We investigate the adhesion of poly (phenylene sulfide) (PPS) on aluminum, copper, silver and gold through simulations involving PPS monomers and single metal atoms. Density functional theory based-total energy calculation results show that PPS binds best to aluminum through the sulfur end of the mo...
