The Effects of the Self-Assembly Time on the Preparation of Lanthanum-Based Thin Films on Sulfonated 3-Mercaptopropyl Trimethoxysilane

Article Preview

Abstract:

Lanthanum-based thin films are deposited on the oxidized 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane self-assembled monolayer (MPTS-SAM) based on the chemisorption of the sulfonic group. The surface energy, chemical composition, phase transformation and surface morphology of the films are analyzed by using contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The experimental results indicate that the lanthanum-based thin films are absorbed on oxidized MPTS-SAM and lanthanum element with different oxidation states exists in the thin films deposited on the surface of self-assembly monolayers. The content of lanthanum on the oxidized MPTS-SAM increases with the extension of the assembly time and the rare earth reached saturation when the time was 6h.
