Abstract
Polyallylamine hydrochloride/graphite oxides ultra thin film (coded as PAH/GO ultra thin film) was prepared by molecular deposition (MD) in laboratory. The resulting PAH/GO ultra thin film was heated to convert the electrostatic force towards covalent bond so as to increase the bonding strength of the film. The structure and nanotribological properties of the film were analyzed by means of atomic force microscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. It was found that the PAH/GO ultra thin film had a much smaller friction force than the glass substrate and the friction force was dependent on the hardness and appearance of the glass substrate.
