Reaction of 4-acyl-oxy-but-1-enyl-silanes with iodosylbenzene in the presence of BF(3) x OEt(2) gave 4-acyloxy-2-oxobutyl-silane and 3-acyloxy-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl-silane via a 1,3-di-oxan-2-yl cation intermediate, which is generated by participation of the acyloxy group during the electrophilic addition of iodine(III) to the substrate.

Objective. To evaluate the effect of five experimental silane monomer primers in vitro on the shear bond strength of a phosphate ester resin-composite cement bonded to silicatized zirconia framework. Methods. A total of 144 planar zirconia (Procera AllZircon) specimens were subjected to tribochemical silica-treatment, randomly divided into 12 sub-groups (n=12), and silanized with 1.0% (v/v) act...

When culturing cells on flexible surfaces, it is important to consider extracellular matrix treatments that will remain on the surface under mechanical strain. Here we investigate differences in laminin deposited on oxidized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with plasma treatment (plasma-only) vs. plasma and aminopropyltrimethoxysilane treatment (silane-linked). We use specular X-ray reflectivity (SX...

This study evaluated the influence of an alternative surface treatment on the microshear bond strength (μsbs) of zirconia-based ceramic. Thirty-five zirconia disks were assigned to five groups according to the following treatments: Control (CO), glass and silane were not applied to the zirconia surface; G1, air blasted with 100μm glass beads + glaze + silane; G2, a gel containing 15% (by weight...

Small-angle and ultrasmall-angle neutron scattering (SANS and USANS) were used to characterize silica nanoparticle dispersion morphologies and the interphase in thermoset dimethacrylate polymer nanocomposites. Silica nanoparticle fillers were silanized with varying mass ratios of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), a silane that interacts with the matrix through covalent and H-bonding...

The adhesion durability of coatings and encapsulant materials utilized in electronic packaging is vital for device reliability in the microelectronics industry. Due to adverse operating conditions such as high moisture and high temperature environments, the adhesion between an adhesive and its substrate is typically compromised. This thesis addresses the advantages of employing plasma pretreatm...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the process of hydrolysis and chemical stability of a pre-activated silane solution stored for different periods of time. The tensile bond strength of resin composite to ceramic was also evaluated in order to determine the functional effectiveness after storage of the pre-activated silane solutions. METHODS Silane solutions using gamma-m...

In this communication, a bis-silane prepolymer was used to modify epoxy resin, aiming enhance the corrosion resistance of coatings on aluminum alloy substrates. The prepared by tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and γ-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS). behavior silane-epoxy studied. Compared with silane monomer-modified coatings, bis-silane-modified have lower coating capacitance (Cc), higher char...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, with an average size of about 45 nm, were encapsulated by polystyrene using in situ nitroxide mediated radical polymerization   in the presence of 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane (APTES) as a coupling agent and 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy  as a initiator. First, the initiator for NMRP was covalently bonded onto the surface of Titanium dioxide na...

Using the University of California Berkeley Infrared Spatial Interferometer with a radio frequency (RF) Ðlter bank, the Ðrst interferometric observations of mid-infrared molecular absorption features of ammonia and silane with very high spectral resolution (j/*jD 105) were made. Under the 3 4 assumptions of spherical symmetry and uniform outÑow, these new data permitted the molecular stratiÐcat...
