Abstract

Metals and their alloys have been widely used in all aspects of science and engineering. However the science of nanotechnology is driving newer demands and requirements for better performance of existing materials and also at a higher level of precision. This is naturally presenting complicated demands on the surface of these metals with a need for surface modification. Self Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) are nanosized coatings that present the most efficient method of carrying out surface modification. Alkylsilanes are silicon based SAMs which are compatible with the majority of metals and alloys. These nanocoatings can serve primary functions such as surface coverage, etch protection and anti corrosion, along with a host of other secondary chemical functions because of their amphiphilic nature. We present a brief introduction to surface modification of metals and alloys followed by a detailed description of silane based nanocoatings and their applications in technology. Then a look at the engineering aspects of these coatings in terms of patterning techniques is presented along with a discussion of the applications of patterned SAMs.
