Silicon Wafer Surface

Triethoxysilyl functionalized hyperbranched polsiloxysilanes at the focal (FT-HBPSs) and terminal (TT-HBPSs) positions were synthesized to investigate adsorption behavior onto a silicon wafer surface. The surface of the silicon wafer adsorbed with the HBPSs was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), static and dynamic water contact angle measurements. The AFM images indicated the formation size of dot-like structures were approximately 200 nm. The presence of vinyl terminal groups of FT-HBPSs permitted conversion of the surface from a non-polar hydrocarbon to a polar hydroxylated or carboxylated structures. After the polarity was changed, the surface properties were also studied using the above surface analysis techniques. The dynamic contact angle measurement indicated that the silicon wafer surface modified by FT-HBPSs was more hydrophilic in water than TT-HBPS. This behavior can be explained by the difference of connecting points between HBPS and the silicon wafer surface.

Hydrophobic modification of cellulose fibres was conducted by plasma-induced polymer grafting in an attempt to increase the hydrophobicity of paper. Two hydrophobic monomers, i.e., butyl acrylate (BA) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) were grafted on cellulose fibres, induced by atmospheric cold plasma. Various influencing factors associated with the plasma-induced grafting were investigated, including the contact time and reaction temperature with monomers, and the dosage of monomers. Contact-angle measurement, infrared spectrum (IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to ascertain the occurrence of the grafting. The results showed that the hydrophobic property of the modified paper sheet was improved significantly after the plasma-induced grafting. The water contact angle on the surface of the paper reached up to higher than125°.

Before And After

Cotton fabric is commonly used in daily life, but it is easily wetted and contaminated by liquid. Herein, we present a simple and environmentally friendly plasma technology for hydrophobic modification of cotton fabric. In order to endow superhydrophobicity to cotton fabric, helium plasma inducing graft polymerization of 1,3,5,7-tetravinyl-1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4Vi) was utilized to wrap SiO2 particles on cotton fabrics. Cotton fabrics were successively dipped in silica sol and D4Vi, then treated by plasma. Cotton fabrics before and after modification were characterized by using field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and water contact angle measurement. The experimental results showed that the cotton-SiO2-D4Vi consisted of nanoscale SiO2 protrusions and low-surface-energy film polymerized by D4Vi. In addition, the one wrapped SiO2 of 161 nm presented excellent hydrophobicity, washing durability, and repellency toward different types of liquids with a water contact angle of 152°.

Silica Nanofibers

A kind of silica nanofibers (SNF) mats with superhydrophobicity and superlipophilicity as well as excellent heat resistance, had been prepared by modifying of 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-hexamethyldisilazane on electrospun SNF mats. The effects of heat treatment time on properties of modified SNF mats were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen absorption analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and contact angle measurement. With high specific surface area 240.1 m2/g, the optimal modified SNF mat approached water contact angle (WCA) 153.2? and fuel contact angle (FCA) 0?, furthermore, even after annealing by 450?C in air for 1h , WCA remained at 135.5? and FCA kept at 3.8?, which opened a new way to improve heat resistance of fuel-water filter paper.

Free Energy Surface

Contact angle analysis of liquids on surfaces has been extensively used to evaluating solid surface free energy, surface tension, and surface wetting characteristics. Despite the great interest in the contact angle, reported measurements has shown a high variety, which is often related to different contact angle measurement techniques or substrate preparation and oxidation among others. In addition, it is well know, that surface tension and contact angle are modified with temperature. However, no attention has been paid to the influence of the relative humidity (RH) in surface tension or contact angle measurements. In a previous work, we have demonstrated that (for a constant temperature) surface tension on a suspended droplet decreases linearly with RH in the air. In this paper, contact angle of a water droplet on a silicon wafer surface is studied and its relationship with the relative humidity in the air investigated.
