On small scales, especially in microfluidic devices, the role of the solid/liquid interface gets more important for the flow dynamics. Our experiments probe slippage via the dewetting of thin polymer films on hydrophobic substrates [1]. As hydrophobic coatings we use amorphous polymers (AF1600, AF2400) and different types of highly ordered self-assembled silane monolayers on top of silicon substrates. On silane surfaces, polystyrene (PS) of low molecular weight exhibit slip lengths up to micrometers [2]. On AF1600, no significant slip is observed . Scattering studies reveal an ordering of the PS side chains at the solid/liquid interface depending on the structure of the substrate [3]. Recent simulations were able to characterize the used SAMs[4]. However, the situation changes if PMMA or polyvinylpyridine (PVP) are used: Dewetting experiments show that slip is less pronounced in PVP and in PMMA films. Obviously, the structure of the side groups play a significant role. X-ray reflectometry supplement this hypothesis and give further insight to the slippage mechanism at the solid/liquid interface.
