Abstract Details

2004, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Materials Science.
It has been amply demonstrated that thin films of organofunctional silanes deposited by dipping or spraying on metals such as aluminum, can provide protection against various forms of corrosion, including uniform corrosion and pitting. However, the thickness and uniformity of the film are uncontrolled in this process. The work done in this dissertation proposes a new deposition technique for the silane films on the metal surface i.e., by electrodeposition. Electrodeposition results in a highly uniform, non-porous, highly corrosion resistant film on the metal surface. The film formed was characterized mainly using electrochemical, surface and interfacial characterization techniques. Application of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and time of flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS) to electrodeposited films have provided direct evidence for the presence of O 2 Al(O-Si-O) and OAl(O-Si-O) 2 groups at the silane-aluminum oxide interface. Such bonds have, of course, often been suggested, but they have largely remained elusive over the years.
