Microtribological and corrosion behaviors of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecanethiol self-assembled films on copper surfaces

► F8H2SH is commercially available. ► F8H2SH is grafted on copper to form a self-assembled monolayer. ► Structure, electrochemical behavior and tribological properties of the SAM are studied. ► The SAM presents good anti-corrosion and lubrication properties.
