Abstract

A spreading mechanism of nonfunctional perfluoroopolyalkylether (PFPE) on carbon surfaces is proposed. For the thin thin-film regine, adsorption-desorption is a main driving force for spreading, and the surface diffusion coefficients increase as the film thickness increases. A two-dimensional virial equation is employed to explain the dependency of surface diffusion coefficient on the film thickness. For the thick thin-film regime, the spreading characteristic is determined by the disjoining pressure gradient. We adopt a slip boundary condition to analyze the thick thin-film regime. This modification of the boundary condition reasonably explains the dependence of surface diffusion coefficients of film thickness.
