UV/ozone (UVO)-assisted formation of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (PFDS) was prepared on a glass surface. The effect of UVO exposure time on surface roughness and hydrophilicity was investigated through goniometer and atomic force microscope (AFM), and deposition time-dependent SAM quality was detected by AFM and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The glass surface became smooth with UVO radiation after 10 min, and the hydrophilicity was also improved after the treatment. Confirmed by surface topography detection and chemical composition analysis, a high-quality SAM can be formed rapidly on glass with 10 min UVO treatment followed by 2 h deposition in PFDS solution. Excellent tribological performances of SAM coated with UVO treatment glass were demonstrated by friction and wear tests on AFM compared to film-deposited glass without UVO treatment and original glass. The study sheds a light on preparing high-quality lubrication and antiwear self-assembled films on the surface of engineering materials.

Preparation of a Cu (II) chelate of bis(salicylaldehyde)ethylenediamine was carried out directly in epoxidized rape oil via a water/oil microemulsion reactor. Detailed characterization of the friction of boundary lubrication produced by epoxidized rape oil with and without the Cu (II) chelate of bis(salicylaldehyde)ethylenediamine was performed in reciprocating sliding tests with a microtribometer. In the presence of a modification of the epoxidized rape oil with 2 wt % of the Cu (II) chelate of bis(salicylaldehyde)ethylenediamine, the friction coefficient decreased by 15%. The Cu (II) chelate of bis(salicylaldehyde)ethylenediamine served as the additive in the epoxidized rape oil and self-assembled on the surface of 100Cr6 steel. The self-assembled monolayer was detected with atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and characterized with cyclic voltammetry. It was verified by energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses that steel/steel rubbing pairs underwent a selective transfer of organic substance and copper, as a result of lubrication with the modified lubricant. It indicated that the modification of epoxidized rape oil with Cu (II) chelate of bis(salicylaldehyde)ethylenediamine led to wear self-repair on the steel surface, with selective transfer of a film of organic substance and copper metal.
