The surface composition and electronic properties of the pretreated and PP film coated metal surfaces were also characterized by XPS and the temperature-programmed photoelectron emission (TPPE). A PP coating was prepared on the pretreated surfaces by plasma polymerization of a mixture of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) monomer vapor and oxygen using a 13.56MHz radiofrequency generator. The polarization curve of PP film coated samples was measured in NaCl aqueous solution. The weight loss rate calculated from the value of the corrosion current of the curve was used to estimate the protective performance of the PP film coated samples. Argon plasma treatment of the metal surface gave much better corrosion-protective performance than pretreatments such as oxidation by heating in air and diamond scratching. The XPS analysis indicated that the silicon oxide assigned to SiO2 was formed on the PP film coated surface. The TPPE analysis revealed that the electron emission characteristics for the metal surfaces pretreated only were strongly influenced by the pretreatments, while all the PP film coated samples exhibited nearly the same electron emission trend with a much decreased intensity.展开更多

The effect of the contents of H2O and PDMS on thin films was studied. When the volume ratio of H20 to TEOS is 0.5, the optimum quality of thin films is obtained. And the gelation time is affected slightly by H20 content. Uniform thin films are obtained when the volume ratio of PDMS to TEOS is 0.2. Yet, the sol would be inactive in 6 d. Various properties of thin films were studied, including hardness, adhesive quality, hydrophobic property, corrosion protection property, and abrasion resistance. Test results show that the pencil hardness is generally 3-6 H, and adhesive quality achieves the highest standard of 0. When the sintering temperature is below 400℃, the contact angle is about 95° and hydrophobic films are obtained. The abrasion resistance of thin films is better than that of aluminum alloy when the sintering temperature is higher than 300℃. And the excellent corrosion protective effect is obtained by single-layer coating when the sintering temperature is higher than 400℃.展开更多
