Abstract:The surface properties of fused silica (FS) change after H2O2 treatment, but the surface and subsurface damage behaviors and their mechanisms under various physical contact conditions have not been elucidated yet. This work investigated the effect of H2O2 treatment on mechanical and mechanochemical properties of FS surface. The results show that the hydrophilicity and adsorbed water film thickness of the FS surface increase with the concentration of H2O2 solution. The surface damage, nanowear, and subsurface d… Show more
