Abstract  

Self-assembly monolayers of hexadecane-thiol (HDT) were prepared on the surface of silver and their anti-tarnishing performance was examined by accelerated tarnish test with H2S. Then the optimal processing parameters were acquired: the temperature is 60 ℃, the concentration of HDT is 0.1 mol/L and the experiment time is 2 h. The self-assembly monolayers were characterized also by means of water drop contact angle, polarization curve, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry methods. The results showed that the self-assembly monolayers of HDT on the surface of silver were compact, and the effect of anti-tarnishing for silver is excellent. Both anodic and cathodic reactions of corrosion were inhibited by HTD SAMs, the film coverage is 94.8%, and the inhibition efficiency is up to 95.9%.

Key words:  hexadecane-thiol      self-assembly monolayer      silver      anti-tarnishing
