Fabrication of triazinedithiol functional polymeric nanofilm by potentiostatic polymerization on aluminum surface

▶ The functional polymeric nanofilm (PAF17) of 6-(N-allyl-1,1,2,2-tetrahydroperfluorodecyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithiol monosodium (AF17N) was prepared on pure aluminum surface by potentiostatic polymerization at different potentials. The optimal electro-polymerization potential and time were investigated. The result showed that uniform and compact nanofilm of PAF17 could be obtained under these conditions. It is expected that this technique will be applied in the preparation of lubricating, dielectric and hydrophobic surface on aluminum substrate.
