Studies on cross-linking of halogenated butyl rubber with silane-coupling agents. Crosslinking of chlorinated butyl rubber with silane coupling agent.

[Silane coupling agents].

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...

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...

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...

Effect of multi-walled carbon nanotube on mechanical and rheological properties of silane modified EPDM rubber

A novel mixing approach for achieving a good dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in ethylene- propylene diene monomer (EPDM) matrix has been investigated. In this approach EPDM was modified with vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) during melt mixing. In addition the effect of MWCNT concentration on mechanical and rheological properties of modified EPDM has been studied. The formulated...
