Interfacial Control of the Formation and Adhesion of Oxide Films

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Bar Ilan University as follows: The contractor shall develop organic monolayers with which to modify alumina surfaces on both flat coupons and woven fiber cloths. These monolayers would present a uniform array of phosphonate. sulfonate. and/or carboxylate functional groups on the exposed surface of suitably modified material. These organic monolayers will provide a suitable interface for the attachment of subsequent layers of adherent rhabdophane coatings. The contractor shall develop both the surface priming and the necessary liquid phase deposition chemistry to deposit titania on the surface of Kapton in order to improve its resistance to atomic oxygen and UV radiation.
