Description

The objective of this study is to synthesize and to characterize anodized aluminium oxide (AAO) nano-templates suited for large area device applications. The wear performance and the mechanical properties of well-ordered nanoporous AAO obtained after a two step anodizing process in sulfuric acid were investigated. Pores with different aspect ratios were obtained at cell voltages of 15 V and 21 V. Ppore diameters of ∼ 16 nm and ∼ 27 nm were noticed. The mechanical behaviour of such anodized aluminium oxides (AAO) was determined by nanoindentation at 2-200 mN normal loads. The tribological behaviour of these nano-templates was studied under reciprocating (ball on flat) sliding against alumina counter-balls. The dependence of the properties of AAO-templates on the small pore diameter is discussed
