Abstract
The presented article shows the influence of concentration of perfluoroalkylsilanes in solutions on tribological properties of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) deposited on three surfaces with different silicon content in the millinewton load range. The SAMs were created using the liquid phase deposition (LPD) method with 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane (FDTS) and (3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl) trichlorosilane (FPTS) solutions, for which viscosity and surface tension were estimated. Deposited layers were analyzed in terms of thickness, coverage, wettability, structure and coefficient of friction. The obtained results demonstrated that SAMs created on the silicon-incorporated diamond-like carbon (Si-DLC) coatings possess the best microtribological properties. Systems composed of perfluoroalkylsilane SAM structures deposited on Si-DLC coatings are highly promising candidates as material for microelectromechanical applications.
