Research and Development in Support of the Surface Chemistry Branch

Abstract

This report summarizes GEO-CENTERS' programs in support of the Naval Research Laboratory's Surface Chemistry Branch of the Chemistry Division. These programs deal with the properties and chemistry on/at/near surfaces and interfaces. Of particular interest to the Navy are the advances and studies summarized as follows: Friction/Wear Testing & Surface Analysis: Examined & studied were the effects caused by chemistry & wear debris on the friction/wear of ion-implanted metals and ceramics, & the friction/wear of solid lubricating films. Air Purification: Emphasis centered on predicting the breakthrough behavior of high humidity air streams on activated carbon & the effect of relative humidity on the breakthrough of chemical challenges on impregnated carbon. Keywords: Surface analysis, Surface modification, Tribological characterization, Air purification, Chemical microsensors, Detection, Interface modification & analysis.
