Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of quaternary ammonium silane coupling agents.

Fourteen novel silane coupling agents with a quaternary ammonium group introduced into the molecule, [CH(2)=CHCH(2)N(+)(CH(3))(C(n)H(2n+1))(CH(2))(3)Si(OCH(3))(3)]X(-) (n-X, n=10-18, X=Cl, Br, or I), were synthesized with the aim of using these agents to make material surfaces antimicrobial for a long period of time. Measurements of the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) against 12 kinds o...

Surface Reactions on Thin Layers of Silane Coupling Agents

The reactivity of immobilized functional groups in thin layers of (3-aminopropy1)triethoxy~ilane (APS), (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxy~ilane, (3-bromopropyl)trimethoxysilane, and (8-bromoody1)trimethoxysilane on oxidized aluminum substrates was studied with reflection-adsorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIR), optical ellipsometry and contact-angle measurements. Mass changes on the surface associat...

The effect of three silane coupling agents and their blends with a cross-linker silane on bonding a bis-GMA resin to silicatized titanium (a novel silane system).

OBJECTIVES Three activated organofunctional silane coupling agents alone and blended with a non-functional cross-linker silane were evaluated as adhesion promoters in an experiment where a bis-GMA (bis-phenol-A-diglycidyldimethacrylate) resin was bonded to silicatized titanium. The adhesive performances of the silanes were assessed as shear bond strength values. MATERIALS AND METHODS 3-Methac...

Improved adhesion between nickel–titanium shape memory alloy and a polymer matrix via silane coupling agents

NiTi wires were functionalized with silane coupling agents to improve interfacial adhesion between the inorganic constituent and a host matrix for composite applications. Surface derivatization was characterized by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, and mechanical pullout tests were performed to quantify the increase in adhesion between the NiTi shape memory alloy wires and polymer matrix.
