1、紫外照射对FOTS自组装分子膜表面特性和摩擦特性的影响IntroductionSelf-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used as functional coatings for various applications due to their tunable chemical and physical properties. Among the many SAM-forming molecules, fluorinated alkyl thiolates (FOTS) have attracted a lot of attention be
2、cause of their unique fluorocarbon chains that impart exceptional hydrophobicity and oleophobicity to the SAMs. However, the stability and durability of FOTS SAMs under extreme conditions are still relatively unknown. In particular, the effect of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the surface and frictio

Here, we report the results of our investigation into the impact of UV irradiation on FOTS self-assembled monolayers, focusing on changes in surface chemistry, surface topography, and frictional properties.ExperimentalA dense and uniform
4、FOTS monolayer was formed on a gold substrate by immersing the substrate in a 1 mM ethanolic solution of FOTS for 16 hours at room temperature. The FOTS SAM was then subjected to UV radiation for various durations using a UV/Ozone cleaner. The exposure times ranged from 0 to 90 minutes, with the UV
5、intensity kept constant at 5 W/cm2. Surface characterization was performed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and friction force microscopy (FFM).Results and DiscussionXPS analysis revealed that the sulfur atomic percentage decreased with increasing UV expos

This behavior is consistent with previous studies on UV-induced degradation of fluorine-containing polyme
7、rs.AFM images showed that the surface roughness increased with increasing UV exposure time, mainly due to the formation of small pits and cracks on the surface. The average height of the pits was found to be proportional to the UV exposure time, with the largest pits observed after 90 minutes of exp

The pits were likely formed as a result of the degradation of the fluorocarbon chains, which caused the FOTS SAM to become unstable and prone to surface defects.FFM measurements showed that the friction coefficient increased with increasing UV exposure time. The friction coefficient increased
9、 by more than four-fold after 30 minutes of exposure, indicating that the surface became more rough and less lubricious. The increase in friction was likely due to the loss of the protective fluorocarbon layer and the exposure of the underlying gold substrate, which increased the interfacial adhesio

The UV-induced degradation of the fluorocarbon chains led to the formation of surface defects and increased roughness
11、, resulting in an increase in the friction coefficient. These results suggest that FOTS SAMs may not have adequate stability and durability under UV exposure, which should be taken into account when designing SAM-coated surfaces for outdoor or high-intensity applications.The findings of this study h
