An environmentally friendly film formed on copper: Characterization and corrosion protection

- HT may favor both the surface condensation process and the siloxane band formation.
- After HT, the γ-APS adsorption is more a chemisorption than a physisorption.
- SiOSi chain peak, PEF and ΔE increase from fresh < aged < cured < aged-cured samples.
- PEF for the silane film remains significant until 9 immersion days (73%).
