Silanization

Silanization is the covering of a surface through self-assembly with silane-like molecules. Mica, glass and metal oxide surfaces can all be silanized, because they contain hydroxyl groups which attack and displace the alkoxy groups on the silane thus forming a covalent -Si-O-Si- bond.

Alkoxysilanes

The alkoxy groups usually used are the methoxy (-OCH3) and the ethoxy (-OCH2CH3) groups.

Aminosilanes

  • APTES (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane
  • APDEMS (3-aminopropyl)-diethoxy-methylsilane
  • APMES (3-aminopropyl)-dimethyl-ethoxysilane

Glycidoxysilanes

Mercaptosilanes

  • MPTS (3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane
  • MPDMS (3-mercaptopropyl)-methyl-dimethoxysilane
