In this work, graphene oxide multilayer films deposited on glass substrate were reduced using different thermal redn. methods, including low-temp. annealing, flame-induced and laser redn., and the corresponding surface morphol. and structural properties were investigated.  These graphene oxide thermal redn. methods strongly affected surface morphol. and differently facilitated structural and chem. transformations of graphene oxide.  As evidenced by Raman measurements, thermal annealing and laser redn. of graphene oxide produced more ordered graphene-like structure multilayer films.  However, surface morphol. differences were obsd. and attributed to the different de-oxidn. mechanisms of GO.  This Letter provides an important systematic comparison between the GO redn. methods and thermally-driven structural changes they provide to the reduced GO multilayer films obtained.

A detailed surface characterization was followed using at. force microscopy (AFM) topog. images, surface morphol. parameters, height distribution histograms and bearing ratio curves with hybrid parameters.  The AFM anal. directly showed that the a-C:H/SiOx/PVP and a-C:H:N/SiOx/PVP composite films represent different morphologies with characteristic surface textures.  Surface adhesive properties were evaluated by measuring the force required to sep. the AFM tip from the surface by AFM force-distance curves.  The variance in adhesion force detected was lower for a-C:H/SiOx/PVP composite films due to lower structural homogeneity of the surfaces.  FTIR spectroscopy anal. was performed to study the blend behavior of PVP upon a-C:H/SiOx and a-C:H:N/SiOx direct ion beam deposition.  Interfacial interactions of PVP with the direct ion beam induced changes in the carbonyl group of the PVP and are dependent on the carrier gas used for the synthesis of the amorphous hydrogenated C films.

XPS depth profile showed a presence of ∼2% of oxygen in the film within the first five etching cycles showing oxygen incorporation.  Dry sliding wear expts. at temps. ranging from 20 to 200° were conducted.  The thin films were worn with either 100Cr6 or 440C bearing balls using a ball-on-disk sliding configuration at a contact load of 1 N.  Friction coeff. and coating wear rates were measured and wear tracks were analyzed using optical microscopy, SEM and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy.  Thin films exhibited low wear rates at room temp. and an unexpected wear behavior at the elevated temps.  Only the first half of the metallic chromium film was worn out after ∼18 m of dry sliding at room temp., whereas increase in temp. resulted in a decrease in wear resistance of the film.

During the expt., water droplets on SiO2 nanocomposite film surface are subjected to a series of icing and deicing cycles in a humid (∼ 70% relative humidity) atm. and the resulting morphol. changes are monitored and characterized using at. force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements.  The formation of the frozen or thawed water droplet, with no further shape change, on superhydrophobic SiO2 nanocomposite film, is obtained faster within each cycle as the no. of the icing/deicing cycles increases.  After 10 icing and deicing cycles, the superhydrophobic SiO2 nanocomposite film had a water contact angle value of 146 ± 2° which is effectively non-superhydrophobic.  AFM anal. showed that the superhydrophobic SiO2 nanocomposite film surface area under the water droplet undergoes gradual mech. damage during the repetitive icing/deicing cycles.  We propose a possible mechanism of the morphol. changes to the film surface that take place during the consecutive icing/deicing expts.

Surface morphol. of these Cr films was studied using AFM.  The e-beam deposited Cr films consisted of isolated surface mounds while in RF sputtered samples, these mounds combined to form larger islands.  However surface adhesive properties were obsd. for e-beam deposited films, as detd. from AFM force-distance curves, presumably due to the nanostructural differences.  Similar amts. of adsorbed atm. carbonaceous contaminants and water vapor were detected on samples deposited using both methods with e-beam deposited samples having addnl. carbide species, as detd. by XPS data.  The dominant crystallog. plane in both e-beam deposited and RF sputtered Cr thin films was (110) of body-centered cubic Cr metal structure as detd. from x-ray diffraction data.  Weak (211) reflection was also obsd. in RF sputtered samples and was attributed to a different thin Cr film condensation and growth mechanism which resulted in nanostructural differences between films deposited using two different methods.
