Methacryloxypropyl triethoxysilane

Preferred monomers are alkyl (meth)acrylates, such as butyl acrylate, acrylic acid, and y-methacryloxypropyl triethoxysilane. A reactive emulsifier is used which refers to an emulsifier that has an emulsifying capability and is radically polymerizable. 

Nanocellulose-reinforced acrylate latex can also be an interesting material for the surface coating industry. Mabrouk et al. [57] used an one-step miniemulsion polymerization method to prepare stable aqueous nanocomposite dispersions based on cellulose whiskers extracted from the rachis of the date palm tree and a poly (styrene-co-2-ethyl hexylacrylate) copolymer. A reactive silane, i.e., methacryloxypropyl triethoxysilane (MPS) was added to stabiHze the dispersion and favor the anchoring of the whiskers on the polymer particles. The particle size of the polymer dispersion ranged between 90 and 160 nm for a whisker content varying from 1 to 5 wt%. 

In [276] the properties of kaolin-filled polyethylenes were investigated. The filler was pre-treated with silanes of two kinds, vinyl triethoxysilane (VTES) (I) and gamma-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (II). The results are presented in Table. 9.
