For this goal, CoCr surface was functionalized with Graphene Oxide (GO), characterized by FTIR and XPS, and tested at tribocorrosion. Deposition of graphene oxide was carried out by consecutive steps: alkalinization of CoCr; intermediate coupling via 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) which was cured at 45 °C for 24 h; and final assemble of GO layers at 60 °C for 24 h upon exposure with silane-coated CoCr. FTIR displayed C=C band confirming the assembly of GO on silane-coated CoCr surfaces. XPS elucidated reaction between primary amines of APTES and epoxy groups of GO, free -OH groups in APTES and carboxyl groups in GO, and reaction between APTES primary amines and -OH from carboxyl groups of GO. COF values for GO incubated on silane-coated CoCr disks show stationary values near 0.2. CoCr surfaces in as-reception state show higher COF values increasing at longer testing times.
