Functional materials - Silane coupling agents from Gelest Inc.
Silane coupling agents strongly bond organic and inorganic materials.
The effects obtained from the covalent bonding of organic silane and the substrate (inorganic material) include: - Wetting of the substrate - Modification of adhesive properties - Adjustment of immobilized heterogeneous catalysts - Regular orientation of the interfacial region - Alteration of distribution properties.
basic information
General silane coupling agents have two types of substituents with different functions. X is a hydrolyzable group, which can be an alkoxy group, an acrylate group, a halogen, or an amine. It hydrolyzes to give a reactive silanol group. R is a non-hydrolyzable organic substituent that has a functional group providing desirable properties to the silane.

Applications/Examples of results
One example of a method is chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Silane can be applied using chemical vapor deposition under anhydrous, non-protonic conditions. This method is suitable for creating monolayers. For other applications and achievements, please refer to the catalog.
