ABSTRACTIn order to investigate the influence of substrate functionalization on the subsequent selfassembly of multilayer films, multilayers composed of alternating hafnium and 1,10-decanediylbis(phosphonic) acid (DBPA) have been grown on three different substrates. Substrates studied include gold wafers functionalized with 4-mercaptobutylphosphonic acid, silicon wafers functionalized using a hafnium oxychloride solution, and silicon wafers coated with an octadecylphosphonate LB-template layer. The nature of these films is probed using ellipsometry and grazing angle x-ray diffraction. These studies indicate that the overall order and the individual layer thickness can vary substantially from sample to sample and depend strongly on the initial surface functionalization prior to multilayer growth.

The rheological behavior of a canola oil-based bio-lubricant was correlated with its surface activities using a rotary rheometer. The experiments on the gap size, substrate, and surface conditions led to a consistent and conceivable assumption that the self-assembled monolayer was extended to a degree that was sufficient to make a significant change in the bulk properties. In parallel, the thermal behavior was also connected to the surface activities. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to measure what is thought to be the monolayer melting point without using a graphite substrate. Crystallization points were measured at relatively high temperatures. Tribological tests were conducted and explained based on the rheological and thermal findings. A scenario describing both the boundary and bulk regimes was hypothesized. Rheometry and thermal analysis techniques are promising because of the variety of variables that could be controlled, such as temperature, shear, time, gap and substrate. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study using macroscopic rheology to study the surfactant activities of vegetable oil. The influence of substrate and gap size on rheological behavior could change the current standards for using rotary rheometers.
