Preparation and tribological properties of self‐assembled poly(amide amine)‐Cu nanofilm on silicon

Abstract: Self-assembled poly(amide amine)-copper (PAMAM/Cu) film on silicon was prepared and investigated by means of contact angle measurement, XPS and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The tribological properties were evaluated using a reciprocal ball-on-disc test rig and a lateral force microscope. Results of XPS show the existence of Cu(0) and PAMAM molecule on the surface of the film. Compared with the self-assembled monolayer of the poly(amide amine) generation 4.0 dendrimer, the friction force of PAMAM/Cu film is l… Show more

“…While the mechanism of defect formation in mechanically stressed SAMs is of great interest, the question of whether stress induced defects are self-healing or not is of equal importance. Several studies of SAMs under mechanical stress have been carried out using atomic-force microscopy (AFM), nanotribometry, or surface-force investigations that provide detailed structure–activity relations between lubrication properties and macroscopic or microscopic structures. , However, these experimental studies only provide limited information on the structural changes during and after release of applied mechanical stress. Molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations of thin molecular films under pressure and/or shear are used to support and interpret these experiments providing additional information about structural changes of SAMs under mechanical stress. …”

“…N1s spectra of MIL-53(Al)-NH 2 and MIL-53(Al)-2.0G PAMAM are shown in Figure 4 . The observed 399.3 eV peak in raw MIL-53(Al)-NH 2 materials ( Figure 4 A) was attributed to free amine groups [ 34 ]. After grafting with PAMAM dendrimers, two additional peaks at a higher binding energy (400.8 eV) and lower energy (398.6 eV) were observed in MIL-53(Al)-2.0G PAMAM ( Figure 4 B), which could be assigned to amide bond and Schiff base structure [ 35 , 36 ] in PAMAM, respectively.…”

“…Usually, hydrophobicity of a surface is directly reflected by its water contact angle (WCA); and surfaces having WCAs below 90° are referred to as hydrophilic surfaces, those with WCAs above 90° are referred to as hydrophobic ones . Previously, we found that the surface roughness and WCA of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) were increased by introducing Cu nanoparticles . Furthermore, surface‐capped Cu nanoparticles as a lubricating oil additive possessed good anti‐wear and friction‐reduction properties .…”
