  • Dipodal Silanes
    Multilayer printed circuit boards use dipodal silanes to maintain the integrity of the bond between metal and resins by reducing interfacial water adsorption.

  • Particle Dispersion Utilizing Silanes with Embedded Polarity
    The incorporation of polar functionality into hydrocarbon-substituted silanes can have dramatic effects on the dispersion of particles. Depending on the media, the appropriate mixed polarity surface treatment can improve dispersion, reduce viscosity, and/or increase loading.
  • How Does a Silane Coupling Agent Work?
    Most of the widely used organosilanes have one organic substituent and three hydrolyzable substituents. In the vast majority of surface treatment applications, the alkoxy groups of the trialkoxysilanes are hydrolyzed to form silanol-containing species. Reaction of these silanes involves four steps.
  • Hydrophobic Silane Surface Treatments
    Automotive side windows are treated with fluoroalkylsilanes to provide self-cleaning properties. Water beads remove soil as they are blown over the glass substrate during acceleration.
  • What to Consider When Selecting a Silane Coupling Agent
    Substrates vary widely, containing different concentrations and types of hydroxyl groups on the surface. An increased number of accessible hydroxyl groups on the surface is likely to lead to a better surface modification.
