“…It is, however, unlikely that a polar group like carboxylic acid 21,42 would fail to physisorb to a polar surface as, for example, the hydroxyl groups in DOL, [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]28,29,[32][33][34][35][38][39][40]73 the piperonyl groups in AM2001, 30,31 or the p-phenoxyanilinium group 41 are expected to do.…”

“…Several end-functionalized Fomblin-Z polymers are widely used in commercial magnetic storage devices. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][38][39][40] This family of chain polymers therefore provides a useful system in which to examine the influence of chain-end functionality.…”

[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] It has been demonstrated that these polar end groups are preferentially located near the polar surface of the hydrogenated carbon overcoat that forms the top layer of the computer hard disk 22, [30][31][32]39,40 and also that they are located near other polar surfaces such as silica 21,23,33,34,41 and ZrO 2 . 42 Heating ("thermal bonding") introduces chemical bonds between functionalized chain ends and polar groups on the surface to further improve the stability of the lubricant film.…”

“…42 Heating ("thermal bonding") introduces chemical bonds between functionalized chain ends and polar groups on the surface to further improve the stability of the lubricant film. 19,[21][22][23][24][25]28,29,39,40 For the low molecular weight polymers (2000-4000 g mol -1 ) currently utilized in magnetic storage devices, the polar end groups constitute a large fraction of the whole sample and affect strongly or even dominate the bulk properties of the sample, a phenomenon called the "copolymer effect". 43,44 In the study described below, we demonstrate that not only the affinity of the end groups for a polar surface but also the different structures that can be inferred for confined films containing different polar moieties in a nonpolar environment are critical for the performance of the film as a lubricant.…”

Strong dependence of the tribological response upon the nature of the polar end groups of perfluorinated linear chains was observed for Fomblin-Z perfluoropolyalkyl ethers of similar length and composition but terminated by a different polar group at both chain ends. The number-average molecular weight of the polymers was M n ≈ 2000 g mol -1 and the chain-end functionality was either carboxylic acid, hydroxyl, piperonyl, or the p-phenoxyanilinium salt of a carboxylic acid. The method of investigation was a surface forces apparatus modified for dynamic oscillatory shear at variable frequency and effective shear rate. Differences were observed as concerns not only the shear forces but also the minimum thickness to which the films could be compressed under a given normal load and the adhesion measured on separation of the surfaces after prior compression. The shear forces were studied at normal pressures of 1 and 3 MPa, both in the linear viscoelastic regime and at high shear amplitudes corresponding to shear rates of 10 -2 -10 5 s -1 . The carboxylic acid terminated polymer displayed solidlike responses to shear, possibly reflecting dimerization owing to hydrogen bonding. This contrasted with the more fluidlike shear rheology of the hydroxyl-and piperonyl-terminated polymers, in which the association from hydrogen bonding and polar interactions is believed to be weaker and result in a different structure. The sample comprised of the p-phenoxyanilinium salt of a carboxylic acid could not be compressed to less than an exceptionally large film thickness, around 100 Å, and did not appear to solidify at the pressures studied. This study suggests that not only the affinity of the functionalized chain ends to a solid surface but also the self-association of polar end groups in the nonpolar environment of fluorinated chains influences the lubricating performance of these films.

Effect of Ultraviolet Irradiation on the Interactions between Perfluoropolyether Lubricant and Magnetic Disk Surfaces

et al. 2005

To tailor the characteristics of molecularly thin lubricant films, magnetic disk surfaces coated with nanometer-thick perfluoropolyether AM3001 lubricant films were irradiated with 184.9 and 253.7 nm ultraviolet (UV) rays. We elucidated the effect of UV irradiation on the interactions between the lubricant and the magnetic disk surface via surface energy, bonded lubricant thickness and lubricant spreading measurements for films with and without UV irradiation. We found that UV irradiation decreased the dispersive and polar surface energies of the lubricant films by 20 and 80%, respectively; increased bonded lubricant thickness; and decelerated lubricant spreading. These results indicated that dispersion and polar interactions between lubricant molecules and the magnetic disk surface were strengthened by UV irradiation.

Nanoheterogeneous networks by photopolymerization of perfluoropolyethers and acrylic co-monomers

et al. 2013

Perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs) functionalized with acrylic and methacrylic end groups can be mixed with typical hydrogenated acrylic monomers such as hexanediol diacrylate, tripropyleneglycol diacrylate and trimethylolpropane triacrylate. Mixtures are transparent up to 1:3 weight ratios and can then be photopolymerized. Crosslinked networks are obtained, showing a complex multiphasic nanostructure: submicrometric hydrogenated nanodomains are chemically linked to the fluorinated matrix. Because of this morphology, these networks show peculiar bulk and surface properties: the PFPE matrix ensures low surface energy and low refractive index, while the hydrogenated phase enhances the mechanical properties and polarity of the systems. The networks are then suitable for advanced applications in coatings, microelectronics and optical devices. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry
