Abstract
The effect of perfluoroalkylsilane modification of graphene derivatives on tribological properties at the micro and nanoscale was investigated. Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) deposited on silicon substrate were modified with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane (FDTS) in the vapor phase. SEM imaging revealed a domain-like structure of silane layers. Raman and FTIR spectroscopies showed more oxygen functional groups localized on GO than on the RGO surface, which enhance the effectiveness of FDTS formation and their self-organization. Thus, contact angle measurements revealed that upon modification, GO exhibits higher than RGO hydrophobicity. Frictional tests performed with the use of a ball on flat apparatus and atomic force microscopy revealed that modified GO and RGO layers exhibit low friction and high wear resistance.
期刊介绍:
Applied Surface Science covers topics contributing to a better understanding of surfaces, interfaces, nanostructures and their applications. The journal is concerned with scientific research on the atomic and molecular level of material properties determined with specific surface analytical techniques and/or computational methods, as well as the processing of such structures.
