Abstract:Trifluoropropyl-trichlorosilane reagents were used to tailor the surface chemistry of porous nano-structured thin films fabricated using glancing angle deposition (GLAD). GLAD produces high surface area films of isolated columnar structures and provides complete control over the film morphology. Here, the chemical tunability of these GLAD films was investigated using solution and vapor-phase surface functionalization methods. All films were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
