Abstract

This study presents the fabrication of hydrophobic MNESs exhibiting superior adhesion and friction properties. The process involves a combination of aluminum-induced crystallization (AIC) of amorphous silicon (a-Si) and octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) coating. AIC was employed to create micro/nano-textured silicon surfaces, while subsequent OTS self-assembled monolayer (SAM) formation reduced surface energy. Wetting behavior was characterized using a video-based contact angle measurement system, revealing the hydrophobic nature of the MNESs. Adhesion and friction properties were evaluated with a TriboIndenter. Results demonstrate a significant enhancement in both adhesion and friction performance of all MNESs compared to untreated silicon substrates. Moreover, a strong correlation was observed between the adhesion/friction properties of OTS-modified textured surfaces and their hydrophobicity, as quantified by water contact angle measurements. Higher contact angles corresponded to improved adhesion and friction performance.
