Abstract

Alkanethiols with different chain length, composition and structure were grafted onto the surface of 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxy silane (MPTS)–Ag dual-layer film consisting of Ag outerlayer and MPTS underlayer, thereby generating self-assembled trilayer films with “sandwich” structure on Si substrate. As-prepared films were characterized by atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Moreover, the tribological behavior of as-prepared films was evaluated with an atomic force microscope and a ball-on-plate tribometer as well. It was found that as-prepared MPTS–Ag–C12 (C12 refer to 12 carbon chain of alkyl mercaptan; the same hereafter) film possesses excellent friction-reducing and antiwear properties. Particularly, MPTS–Ag–C8F (C8F refers to perfluorooctanethiol) film with lower interfacial energy exhibits a longer antiwear life than MPTS–Ag–C8 film.
