Abstract: | The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) doped diamond like carbon films were carried out by spinning coating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on silicon covered with diamond like carbon films via PECVD with C2H2 and H2. The results show that the ID/IG and sp2/sp3 ratios are proportional to the CNT contents. For wettability and hydrogen content, the increase of CNT content results in more hydrophobic and less hydrogen for CNT doped DLC films. As for mechanical properties, the hardness and elastic modulus increases linearly with increasing CNT content. The residual stress is reduced for increasing CNT content. As for the surface property, the friction coefficient is reduced for higher CNT content. For CNT doped DLC films, the inclusion of horizontal CNT into DLC films increases the hardness, elastic modulus and reduces the hydrogen content, friction coefficient and residual stress. Like the light element and metal doping, the CNT doping has effects on the surface and mechanical properties on DLC which might be useful to specific application. |
