Abstract

Poly (diallyl dimethylammonium chloride)-graphene oxide multilayer film (PDDA/GO) was successfully fabricated onto a silicon substrate by a layer-by-layer self-assembly technology. Subsequently, PDDA/GO were thermally reduced to be PDDA/RGO in a vacuum. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was carried out to investigate the formation and microstructure of multilayer samples, as well as by water contacted angle (WCA). Results indicates that the multilayer film was prepared successfully, and the surface energy of PDDA/RGO is lower than PDDA/GO. nanotribological properties was investigated by an atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that the frictional coefficients of PDDA/RGO is better than PDDA/GO. To investigate the micro-tribological behaviors, a ball-on-plate tribometer was adopted. Results show that the layer-by-layer self-assembled multilayer thin film possesses good frictional and anti-wear properties. Therefore, both nanoand micro friction performance of PDDA/RGO behaves better than PDDA/GO. The obtained samples make the further application to be more possible.
