Nano-tribological study on a super-hydrophobic film formed on rough aluminium substrates

A novel super-hydrophobic stearic acid (STA) film with a water contact angle of 166^o was prepared by chemical adsorption on aluminum wafer coated with polyethyleneimine (PEI) film. The micro-tribological behavior of the super-hydrophobic STA monolayer was compared with that of the polished and PEI-coated Al surfaces. The effect of relative humidity on the adhesion and friction was investigated as well. It was found that the STA monolayer showed decreased friction, while the adhesive force was greatly decreased by increasing the surface roughness of the Al wafer to reduce the contact area between the atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and the sample surface to be tested. Thus the friction and adhesion of the Al wafer was effectively decreased by generating the STA monolayer, which indicated that it could be feasible and rational to prepare a surface with good adhesion resistance and lubricity by properly controlling the surface morphology and the chemical composition. Both the adhesion and friction decreased as the relative humidity was lowered from 65% to 10%, though the decrease extent became insignificant for the STA monolayer.

Structure and microtribological characteristics of laser-arc deposited TiB2 thin film

TiB2 thin film was deposited by laser-arc deposition method on the surface of single crystalline silicon. The morphology, composition, structure and microtribological properties of the film were studied by using XPS, XRD and atomic force/friction force microscope (AFM/FFM). The results show that TiB2 (100) preferred growth on the Si(100)substrate, TiB2(001) preferred growth on the Si(111) substrate. The TiB2 thin film was composed of TiB2 and a small amount of TiO2. The friction coefficient of TiB2 film on substrates Si (100) and Si(111) in microtribological process were 0.087 and 0.073,respectively. TiB2 thin film displayed distinct ability of anti-scratch and wear-resistance.

Prediction and phase segregation in thin‐film of conjugated polymer blends

Blending conjugated polymers is an efficient method to improve the properties of the films. The phase diagram of poly(9,9‐dihexylfluorene) (PF) and poly(2‐methoxy‐5‐(2′‐ethyl‐hexyloxyl)‐p‐phenylene vinylene) (MEHPPV) was predicted by a modified Flory–Huggins theory based on the topological method (graph theory) for the structure‐property correlations. It shows that the two polymers have a strong trend to separate. Atomic/friction force microscopy (AFM/FFM) measurements show there exist microphase separations in film prepared at room temperature. After annealing at 160 °C, serious phase segregations took place in both the lateral and vertical direction. The photoluminescence of the thin films was also measured by a fluorophotometer. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 43: 1382–1391, 2005
