Review on Corrosion Prevention of Copper Using Ultrathin Organic Monolayers

摘要

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are thin organic films constituted by long alkyl/aromatic chain molecules, which are chemically adsorbed with anchoring group on metal surface. SAMs modified copper has been widely studied for its corrosion resistance ability. In this short review, corrosion protection ability of SAM modified copper substrate was discussed with some striking examples. The effect of various parameters on corrosion resistance of SAM modified copper has also been briefly explained.
