This volume entitled "Protective Coatings and Thin Films : Synthesis, Characterization and Applications" contains the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) held in Alvor, Portugal from May 30 to June 5, 1996. This NATO-ARW was an expert meeting on the surface protection and modification of solid materials subjected to interactions with the environment. The meeting attracted 10 key speakers, 40 contributing speakers and 3 observers from various countries. The existing knowledge and current status of the science and technology related to protective coatings and thin films were assessed through a series of oral presentations, key notes (titles underlined in the volume content) and contributed papers distributed over various sessions dealing with: (a) plasma-assisted physical and chemical vapor deposition processes to enhance wear and corrosion protection of materials, (b) low friction coatings operating in hostile environment (vacuum, space, extreme temperatures, . . . ), (c) polymer films for protection against mechanical damage and chemical attack, (d) characterization of the structure of films and correlations with mechanical properties, (e) wear and corrosion resistant thermal spray coatings, (f) functional gradient ceramic/metallic coatings produced by high energy laser beam and energetic deposition processes for high temperature applications, (g) protective coatings for optical systems, and (h) ion beam assisted deposition of coatings for protection of materials against aqueous corrosion.

In this study we have deposited silver-containing hydrogenated and hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon (DLC) nanocomposite thin films by plasma immersion ion implantation-deposition methods. The surface and nano-tribological characteristics were studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nano-scratching experiments. The silver doping was found to have no measurable effect on sp2-sp3 hybridization of the hydrogenated DLC matrix and only a slight effect on the hydrogen-free DLC matrix. The surface topography was analyzed by surface imaging. High- and low-order roughness determined by AFM characterization was correlated to the DLC growth mechanism and revealed the smoothing effect of silver. The nano-tribological characteristics were explained in terms of friction mechanisms and mechanical properties in correlation to the surface characteristics. It was discovered that the adhesion friction was the dominant friction mechanism; the adhesion force between the scratching tip and DLC surface was decreased by hydrogenation and increased by silver doping.

Diamond-like carbon thin films are been used in wide range of applications due to their attractive tribological properties. Metal-doped DLC films have significant properties which make them compatible to use in larger variety of applications. The present study examines the dispersion and their effect on various tribological properties when Ag is incorporated into the DLC thin films. These Ag-DLC nanocomposite films were synthesized by a hybrid CVD and magnetron sputtering process in a discharge composed of CH4, and Ar atmosphere. These DLC and Ag-DLC films were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman Spectroscopy. Tribological tests were carried out to measure the frictional and wear behavior of the Ag-DLC films as a function of Ag content. The TEM cross sectional studies revealed that Ag is present as Ag nanoparticles that were distributed uniformly throughout an amorphous DLC matrix. XPS analysis confirmed that Ag in the nanoparticles was present in the metallic form. Increasing the Ag content in the film, reduced its sp3 content. The incorporation of these nanoparticles causes a reduction in hardness in Ag-DLC when compared with pure DLC films. Microhardness of DLC films exhibits values up to a maximum of 16 GPa and gradually decreases with increasing in Ag content. FTIR and Raman studies confirmed that the films contain a significant amount of hydrogen, and with an increase in the Ag content in the DLC film results in an increase in sp2 carbon content. Finally, the friction behavior of the Ag-DLC films showed a comparable performance with that of DLC films with a coefficient of friction as low as 0.1. The DLC films exhibited a lower wear rate of 5.51x10−8 mm3/Nm than Ag-DLC films. The wear rate in the Ag-DLC films gradually increased with increasing Ag content but it remained at low levels (i.e., up to 1.7x10−7 mm3/Nm). This is consistent with the higher sp2 content of the Ag-DLC films.
