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...

Effects of silane coupling agents and solutions of different polarity on PMMA bonding to alumina.

The objective of this study was to clarify the effects of silane coupling agents and solutions of different polarity on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bonding to alumina. Three silane coupling agents (3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS),3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) and N-2 (aminoethyl) 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane) and 3 different polar solutions, 70% ethanol, isopropanol and tolue...

Functionalized TiO2 nanoparticles by single-step hydrothermal synthesis: the role of the silane coupling agents

A simple, robust and versatile hydrothermal synthesis route to in situ functionalized TiO2 nanoparticles was developed using titanium(IV) isopropoxide as Ti-precursor and selected silane coupling agents (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyldimethoxymethylsilane (AEAPS), and n-decyltriethoxysilane (DTES)). Spherical nanoparticles (ca. 9 nm) with narrow size distribut...

Highly Efficient Arsenic Removal Using a Composite of Ultrafine Magnetite Nanoparticles Interlinked by Silane Coupling Agents

Arsenic (As) contamination in groundwater is a great environmental health concern and is often the result of contact between groundwater and arsenic-containing rocks or sediments and from variation of pH and redox potentials in the subsurface. In the past decade, magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) have been shown to have high adsorption activity towards As. Alerted by the reported cytotoxicity of 5...
